235. From Fear to Framework: Mastering Feedback with Sue Anderson

What if you could change your workplace forever with just one conversation? Join us for an insightful session with Sue Anderson, a leading coach and the brilliant mind behind "Feedback Fitness." Together, we unravel why the very concept of feedback often triggers negative emotions and how our "feedback footprint" can impact our perception of it. Whether you view feedback as a growth opportunity or a critique, Sue offers a new perspective by reframing feedback as an offer rather than a mandate, empowering both the giver and the receiver. Feedback is emotional, and understanding this is key to building trust and transparency. We explore the idea of “armoring up” and how vulnerability improves feedback, reducing missed opportunities and turnover. Sue’s fitness analogy—warm-up, workout, cool-down—breaks feedback into clear, manageable phases, all guided by the platinum rule: treat others how they want to be treated. Discover practical feedback strategies with Sue Anderson, focusing on permission, intent, and psychological safety. Learn how to tailor feedback to individual preferences and organizational goals. Drawing on insights from Viktor Frankl, Sue highlights the power of choice in our responses, promoting growth and improvement. Tune in for valuable tips to elevate your feedback skills and foster a more open, productive workplace culture.🌐 Connect with Sue:• Website: https://www.sue-anderson.com.au/• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sueandersongood2gr8/• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sueanderson2019/📚 You can purchase Sue's books on Amazon:• Feedback Fitness: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0987560913/• Unshakeable at Work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GCQCKF9/• Unbullyable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GCXSIK8/Send us Fan MailThe Thrive Careers Podcast My career wasn’t a straight line—it was a series of pivots, survival jobs, and...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Support the show✅ Follow The Leadership Project on your favourite podcast platform and listen to a new episode every week!📝 Don’t forget to share your thoughts on the episode in the comments below. 🔔 Join us in our mission at The Leadership Project and learn more about our organisation here:  https://linktr.ee/mickspiers 📕 You can purchase a copy of the Mick Spiers bestselling book "You're a Leader, Now What?" as an eBook or paperback at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZBKK8XVIf you would like a signed copy, please reach out to [email protected] and we can arrange it for you too.If you're thinking about starting a podcast or upgrading your hosting, Buzzsprout is a great option!
