How Can You Proactively Ask for Feedback in the Workplace?
I've been fortunate to receive some wonderful feedback from my clients. It's been a privilege to help them through crises, act as a listening partner and collaborator, and contribute to their organization's growth. I've seen firsthand how external resources can be a lifeline when facing challenges. I'm fortunate to have a vast network that I can connect you with, so don't hesitate to reach out if you need support.
One topic I feel strongly about is the importance of feedback in the workplace. Unfortunately, not all leaders provide feedback, and waiting for performance reviews can be detrimental. I encourage you to take control of managing your leaders by proactively asking for feedback.
I've developed a framework for soliciting feedback, which includes asking what to continue, what to start, and what to change. It's crucial to qualify the value you've brought to the organization and have face-to-face conversations to receive feedback.
When asking these questions, here are a few things to remember:
I urge you to take this framework and apply it to your own situations. If you're a leader with team members who struggle with managing their careers and asking for feedback, share this podcast episode. For leaders who don't have the time to teach these skills, I offer my assistance as the "drop-in CEO" to facilitate conversations or build capabilities within organizations.

1yEgo, is the worst managers enemy, we go to see a doctor when we are sick, a mechanic when our cars do not work, and so on. But we struggle to accept we need support for ourselves in difficult times. This is when a listening partner and collaborator can really help. Well done Deb.
