Summary

A practical and irreverent guide to taking the sting out of feedback and reclaiming it as a motivating, empowering experience for everyone involved.Feedback: the mere mention of the word can make our blood pressure rise and our defenses go up. For many of us, it’s a dirty word that we associate with bias, politics, resentment, and self-doubt. However, if we take a step back and think about its true intent, we realize that feedback needn’t be a bad thing. After all, understanding how others experience us provides valuable opportunities to learn and grow.Authors M. Tamra Chandler and Laura Grealish explain how feedback got such a bad rap and how to recognize and minimize the negative physical and emotional responses that can erode trust and shut down communication. They offer a new and more ambitious definition of feedback, explore the roles we each play as Seeker, Extender, and Receiver, and introduce the three Fs of making feedback focused, fair, and frequent. You’ll also find valuable exercises and strategies, along with real-world examples that illustrate how you can put these ideas into action and join in the movement to fix feedback, once and for all.When it’s done right, feedback has been proven to be the most effective means of improving communication and performance for you and your organization. It’s too important to give up, and with Chandler and Grealish’s help, you’ll be able to use it deftly, equitably, and effectively.“Feedback (and other Dirty Words) cuts straight to the chase on what you need to do to revolutionize feedback in your organization. If we all approached feedback in this way, business (and the world at large!) would indeed be a better place.” —Kathy O'Driscoll, vice president of People, Snowflake Computing Inc.“Like it or probably not, people don't grow without feedback. Can you deliver feedback without closing people down? Chandler and Grealish give the tools and methods for making feedback feel good. Not only will Feedback (and Other Dirty Words) help you with your next performance conversation, it can transform your company culture to be more agile and enjoyable.” —Marcia Reynolds, PsyD, past president, International Coach Federation, and author of The Discomfort Zone

    One million dollars and $6,250 per video. This is how much Levi Lascsak and Travis Plumb made in their first year marketing their new real estate business on YouTube. By the first seven months of their second year, they surpassed $2.6 million and $47,000 per video. Levi and Travis have sold everything from gym memberships to retirement plans and enjoyed every aspect—except prospecting. In real estate, they saw that outdated tactics such as cold calling and paid advertising were ineffective and time consuming. YouTube gave them everything they needed: exposure, opportunity, and clients who would benefit most from their services. In Passive Prospecting, Levi and Travis lay out the principles of implementing a successful marketing strategy built around YouTube. You’ll learn the difference between interruption- and intention-based marketing, how to keep your content evergreen, and why utilizing YouTube is a service-based tactic your customers will value. For both the novice and experienced rep, Passive Prospecting is the sales blueprint that will help you stop chasing leads and instead bring the business to you.
