Episode 7: How to Give and Receive Feedback: The Skill That Changes Everything

November 25, 2025 • Workplace 101 Hub • Season 1 • Episode 7

0:00 | 24:50

Feedback is one of the most important skills you’ll ever develop in your career — but most of us were never taught how to handle it. In this episode, we’re diving into the real, practical tools that help you give and receive feedback without shutting down, getting defensive, or taking it personally.

We’ll break down why feedback feels so uncomfortable, how to respond with confidence instead of panic, and what leaders are actually looking for when they assess “coachability.” You’ll walk away with strategies you can use immediately — in your next 1:1, project review, or unexpected “Can I give you some feedback?” moment.

In this episode, we cover:

How to receive feedback without spiraling
What openness vs. resistance sounds like
How to give feedback that’s honest and respectful
Why mastering feedback accelerates your career
How to shift your mindset so feedback feels useful, not threatening

If you’re ready to communicate better, grow faster, and show up with more credibility at work, this episode will change the way you approach feedback.
