Episode 26

How To Give Your Team Feedback

Today’s episode will make you feel more empowered about figuring out the right time to give feedback to your team and how to do it. It is your job as a boss to give feedback and to have these hard conversations. You want to create a culture at your company where team members, including you, feel comfortable and confident giving each other honest feedback, face to face, and in real-time. Listen along as I share with you my pro tips on how to do this and how to make those uncomfortable conversations a little more comfortable (and of course, constructive).

IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:

  • How having constructive, uncomfortable conversations takes practice to get easier
  • How putting negative feedback in the middle of compliments is confusing and how to gently be direct, without feeling like you have to soften the blow
  • Feedback can be positive and negative, and is how people grow and develop both professionally and personally
  • A list of talking points and prompts on how to start your conversation

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
