We've all had that moment.
A feedback conversation that left us confused, frustrated, defensive, or silently thinking, "WTF-What The Feedback?!" Whether you're a leader, manager, team member, or individual contributor, feedback can feel intimidating. It can trigger fear, spark emotion, and shake even the most confident professional. And yet... Feedback is the single most powerful accelerator of growth, trust, and performance in the workplace.
In WTF? What The Feedback, workplace mediator and performance expert Kim Baker guides you across the bridge from fear-driven feedback to feedback that fuels clarity, confidence, and results. This is a practical, field-tested framework built from decades of experience in global training, talent development, conflict resolution, and team performance.
Inside, You'll Learn How To:
✔ Identify the Five FEARS that hold you back from giving feedback
✔ Recognize the emotional triggers that make receiving feedback feel threatening
✔ Understand the difference between appreciation, coaching, and evaluation
✔ Move from passive or aggressive habits to assertive, high-impact conversations
✔ Use a proven, practical process to give feedback clearly, calmly, and constructively
✔ Build both skillpower and willpower-the combination required for real performance improvement
Feedback-rich cultures don't just "communicate better." They move faster, align smarter, and perform stronger.
If you're ready to stop dreading feedback conversations...
If you want practical tools instead of vague encouragement...
