For many, October means the start of pumpkin spice season. But if you’re in the corporate world, it means something else:
Year-end review season.
Along with it comes something most of us have a complicated relationship with: feedback.
We all love positive feedback.
But the prospect of critical feedback?! Let’s keep it real: wouldn’t you be happier to just skip it?

And let’s keep it really real: women and people of color often need to contend with biased performance feedback.
There’s that old management saying, “feedback is a gift.” But sometimes, that gift can feel like it’s laced with poison.
In this week’s episode of The Mental Offload Podcast, we’ll deep dive into how you can receive feedback with more grace and confidence, while still advocating for yourself.
