How to Give Feedback Without Triggering Defensiveness — Backed by Science
samedi 7 juin 2025 • Duration 35:00
Most feedback fails not because it’s wrong — but because it triggers defensiveness.
Buy the book Let's Talk: Make Effective Feedback Your Superpower by Therese Huston
In this episode, cognitive scientist and author Therese Huston joins Kwame Christian to reveal the brain science behind effective, non-threatening feedback.

🔍 You’ll learn:
Why your brain sees feedback as a threat — and how to override it
The “Jedi” feedback move that instantly lowers defenses
