Re-Release - How better feedback can make all the difference

I want to talk about the importance of feedback.  

This is the thing with feedback - if done well it can be a great tool to support growth - if done badly it can really hold women back. 

I talk about both of these things today and also not forgetting that feedback shouldn’t be the only thing we rely on to grow and move forward and I will share some ways you can do this for yourself too!

Have you ever been told “you are great at your job - keep doing what you are doing” from a line manager or someone more senior to you.  And you were expecting something a little more specific, something that you could sink your teeth into and something that well would actually help you and your career progression.  

Research including that from the HBR (Harvard business review) has found that vague feedback is actually holding women back and they are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to promotion and we need more women at those decision making tables.  

Don’t forget you can get my monthly email “Visibility Matters” that shares the latest around the gender pay gap, visibility, allyship, self promotion  and good practice that is happening all over the place that support more women to step up and companies to recognise the value they bring.
