The Feedback Advantage – Why Dynamic Leaders Learn to Ask

Hey Friend


I’ve spent the past three years working with leaders and teams on the power of feedback—and without a doubt, it’s the best learning resource available to you.


And it’s free!


So when organisations ask me to work with their leaders on giving “constructive feedback” or having “challenging conversations” with underperforming staff, I gently redirect. Because using feedback as a tool for accountability is one of the hardest—and least effective—ways to lead. 


When you treat feedback like a compliance conversation, you’re doing your role a disservice. But when you separate feedback from accountability—when you see they’re not just different conversations, they’re not even in the same food group—you start to lead smarter, not harder.

I know you’re driven. Likely high-performing. A leader who cares deeply about your work, your people, and your reputation. But with the relentless flow of work, shifting expectations, and the endless to-do list, how often do you pause to reflect on the effectiveness of the conversations you’re having?


Every conversation—no matter how quick or informal—is either building trust or eroding it. You are in complete control of that. Yet too often, those split-second reactions or off-the-cuff comments slip out without thought. I’ve watched leaders slowly wear down relationships and team connection over time, then wonder why engagement has dropped, sick days are up, or turnover is above average.


This August, I’m running Lead to Strengthen, a public online program designed specifically for leaders like you—those who’ve built success by pushing through, but now want to lead with greater clarity, calm, and confidence. 


The focus? Expectations. Accountability. And feedback.


Feedback, when given and received intentionally, becomes a tool for clarity, connection, and culture change. It’s powerful, accessible, and, when done well, creates real momentum—not just in your leadership, but across your whole team.


In Lead to Strengthen, we explore:
✅ How to seek feedback in ways that build self-awareness without damaging your confidence.
✅ How to give feedback that is clean, contextual, and constructive (not over-shadowed with frustration).
✅ How to distinguish between feedback and accountability—and why this distinction is vital.
✅ How to build resilience so feedback drives growth instead of triggering defensiveness or avoidance.


You’ll walk away with practical tools and a deeper understanding of what it really takes to grow a team that learns, contributes, and performs—without draining your energy.


This isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s essential for effective and sustainable leadership.
