Giving feedback to someone else is hard, especially when it involves constructive criticism or even outright bad news.

For those who have a need to be liked, we often end up beating around the bush, hiding the feedback in praise, or avoiding the conversation entirely.

Naturally, this can have some pretty poor consequences, often worse than if we had just been honest in the first place.

This is something that Laura Henshaw knows all too well and has worked incredibly hard to overcome.

Laura is the co-founder and CEO of the highly successful KIC App and co-host of the chart-topping KIC podcast.

Laura shares:

  • Why you’ll never succeed at getting everyone to like your decisions.
  • The one thing you should prioritise over kindness when giving feedback.
  • Why giving feedback as a "shit sandwich" doesn’t actually work.
