Nicole & Kate Can Relate

Feedback can be given and received in many forms. There’s feedback that we request, feedback that’s unsolicited, and sometimes even feedback that we’ve expressed is unwelcome from the start.

In this episode we’ll share our own personal experiences with giving and receiving feedback. We’ll dive into how you know when it’s appropriate to give feedback, and also some things you should consider when it comes to receiving feedback. 

Points Discussed in this Episode
  • Understanding the context of the situation overall when giving and receiving feedback
  • What happens when you rely too heavily on others’ feedback
  • Having a system or checklist to help you determine when you should listen, take on, or shut down feedback
  • How maturity impacts your ability to give and receive feedback 
  • The “Yes, and…” approach
  • Asking for feedback

What is Nicole & Kate Can Relate?

We're Nicole & Kate! Friends, confidants, accountability partners, and we’ve been supporting each other over the years sharing our ups and our downs and hashing out the big questions of life - do we want kids? Can we have it all? How do we stay healthy and keep our businesses running smoothly without major stress and overwhelm? We talk things out ‘cause that’s what real friends do - they provide love, support, and space for one another to share without judgement, speak without hesitation, and learn from each other - even when we don’t agree.
