How Brave Leaders Give Feedback Without Fear or Fluff

Feedback is one of the most powerful tools a leader has - and one of the hardest to use well. Too often, leaders avoid it, sugarcoat it, or deliver it so vaguely that it never lands. The result? Teams left guessing, disengaged, and missing out on their full potential.

In this episode of the Small Brave Moves podcast, we unpack:

•  Why most leaders struggle to give feedback (and how it holds teams back)
•  The difference between empty praise, harsh critique, and feedback that actually helps people grow
• Three types of brave feedback you can start practicing right away
• Practical scripts and examples you can use in your next conversation
• A weekly challenge to turn feedback into a rhythm, not a rarity

You’ll learn how to give feedback that feels less like confrontation and more like an invitation - one that fuels performance, strengthens trust, and transforms relationships. Because your team doesn’t need you to be flawless. They need you to be honest, kind, and brave.
