For many, feedback and performance reviews are among the most nerve-wracking parts of their careers. Too often, they bring unexpected revelations—leading to frustration, discouragement, and missed opportunities for improvement.

We’ll explore how to build a culture where feedback is less dreaded and more of a welcomed opportunity—but be warned, it requires a mindset shift from everyone (yes, including you!).
