Transform feedback from a dreaded event into an ongoing dialogue that both parties actually look forward to.
Part of
Giving & Receiving Feedback →
The skill most people avoid and everyone needs — learn to deliver honest feedback that drives growth and receive criticism without crumbling. You'll navigate four escalating scenarios — from the sandwich myth to the growth conversation — practicing the decisions that matter most when the pressure is real and the stakes are personal. This isn't theory. It's practice for the moments that define how this chapter of your life unfolds.

What happens in this story4 scenarios
Your manager asks what you want to be doing in two years, and the honest answer is "not this." The growth conversation starts with a truth that feels risky to say out loud.
You name the gap between where you are and where you want to be, and it is wider than you expected. The vulnerability of admitting what you cannot do yet is surprisingly sharp.
Together you sketch a plan, and it requires things that are uncomfortable — stretch assignments, public speaking, asking for help. Growth, it turns out, is mostly discomfort with a purpose.
You leave with a development plan that is specific, measurable, and slightly terrifying. For the first time, the future feels less like something that happens to you and more like something you are building.
