68. Failure Files: The Feedback (How I Got Feedback Wrong as a New Leader)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
No one teaches you how to give feedback—you’re just expected to know how to do it. In this Failure Files episode, I share a leadership moment I got completely wrong, what I learned, and how to approach difficult conversations better.
In this episode, I talk about:
- What went wrong in a feedback conversation
- The pressure new leaders feel to perform and prove themselves
- Why avoiding difficult conversations makes things worse
- The difference between something being wrong vs. just different
- What I wish I had done differently when giving feedback
- A simple question that has changed how I lead today
This is one of the most common leadership challenges out there:
You know something needs to be said… but you don’t know how to say it.

Excited to be with you!
