If you have joined us for the past few episodes, you already know this book has been a wealth of knowledge and it feels like we’ve only just scratched the surface. By now, you probably also have noticed how this book has clearly shaped the entire industry of self-development/self-improvement and the impact it must have made on many leaders and titans of business. However, nothing tests a leader and what they are made of more than what Dale left for us on the final topic…

How to change people without offense or arousing resentment. Otherwise known as, delivering negative feedback or a particular incidence where behavior needs to be corrected.

Maybe you are a manager and you have to give feedback to your employees about their poor performance, or maybe your spouse is doing something that’s hurting your feelings in a way they are unaware of. Whatever the situation is, these conversations are not fun for most people. It can be hard, to be honest without hurting the other person. However, by the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how you can give better feedback, and get the results you want, without hard feelings or negative emotions.

This episode has the ability to transform your work and home life, how you advocate for yourself, and even transform the lives of those under your leadership. This is part one of this conversation so don’t miss episode 70 to hear the rest of this conversation!
