Join Mel Loy and Prina Shah for a powerhouse crossover episode all about one of the most misunderstood (and dreaded) workplace topics: FEEDBACK.
Whether you're a people-pleasing manager terrified of “upsetting the apple cart”, or someone who hears “I have some feedback” and instantly spirals - this episode is your feedback survival guide.
We dive deep into:
- Why giving feedback is so hard (hint: empathy and ego)
- The 11+ types of feedback you're probably missing
- How to ditch the dreaded “sh*t sandwich” and use models that actually work (hello, STAR-R and AIR 💡)
- How to receive feedback without melting down (spoiler: you don’t have to respond right away)
- Language hacks that make feedback feel safer and more effective
- Neurodiversity and RSD: Tailoring feedback for neurodivergent team members
- Why not all feedback is valid—and how to spot the difference
- How your self-talk and inner parent/child affect your feedback response
- Pre-mortems, performance metrics & peer roasts: Creative ways to build a culture of feedback and trust
- 💥 Plus: Real-life stories, expert tools, running jokes (yes, we’re still roasting!), and no BS leadership insights.
Tools & Models Mentioned:
- STAR-AR (Situation, Task, Action, Result + Alternative Result)
- AIR (Action, Impact, Result)
- SBI (Situation, Behavior, Impact)
- Transactional Analysis (Parent/Adult/Child self-talk)
- Feedback Quadrant: Self-esteem vs. Self-awareness
- User Manual of Me
- The “Weekly Roast” Team Trust Exercise
