ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
Welcome back to Dear EverMore! In today’s episode, we’re talking about what’s wrong with feedback at work, and how EverMore is on a mission to make this better (for everyone).
If you want the TLDR, we discuss how:
- a lot of people are being polite at work and avoiding the hard conversations — sometimes too late, sometimes not at all
- feedback often tends to be projections of how others are feeling, what they would do differently, or the feedback they’ve received themselves
- important it is to understand your “why” when asking for feedback — by knowing this, you then know who to go to, what you’re looking for, and how to ask for it
- establishing relationships and knowing someone’s values + who they are make it much easier to accept and give feedback to one another — this is doubly true when reading for their reactions or non-verbal cues since those are not universal
Naturally, Courtney + Kelsey go into some tangents in this conversation (which are always fun!) — one of which goes into some of their recruiting practices, like knowing when we (or their team) is having a bad day so it doesn’t affect a candidates ability to be successful. We also share the importance of candidates being able to have bad days, too.
With what we’re building at EverMore, we want to help you know yourself better so you can bring your fullest, most authentic self to everything you do. Whether you’re looking to get promoted, become a better manager, or accomplish big goals — we’re building for you in mind, a tool we’ve always wanted ourselves at work.
