Thought feedback was hard enough when you have to give it to your team members? How about giving it to your own manager or to an executive in your management chain? Thanks but no thanks? Same.

This is something that can make us start to sweat just thinking about it, but fear not, because In this episode I share a 5-step framework for delivering feedback up the chain. 

And for business owners or founders who do not have a management chain, I encourage you to think about how you can apply this 5-step framework to giving feedback to yourself about how a situation or conversation went. 

Give the framework a try, and I assure you it will set you up so much better than if you just wing it.
