What if feedback wasn’t about criticism—but about care?
On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're joined by world-renowned leadership coach, author and friend Donna Karlin, who’s here to change the way we think about feedback.
Her new book “Feedback Unfiltered: Say What Matters. Cut the Noise. Transform Everything” dives deep into how honest, timely feedback—when done right—can radically improve our careers, relationships, confidence, and personal growth.
We avoid hard conversations in our personal lives the same way we do at work—by sugarcoating, staying silent, or blowing up. But Donna’s here to show us that feedback, when reframed, becomes one of the most generous, human things we can offer.
We’ll talk about:
Why we fear feedback (and how to shift that fear)
How to offer truth without harm
Why clarity beats comfort
And how feedback can deepen connection at work and at home
This episode is for leaders, parents, friends, partners—and anyone ready to say what matters, while there’s still time to change the outcome.
