Summary
How do we give feedback without putting the other person’s brain into defense mode? Our brain often goes into fight, flight or freeze and the goal in all of this is to keep our brain in discovery mode for us to actually implement changes. When we say “yes, but” your brain tends to focus on the “but” part and believes that the person is standing opposed from you. In this week’s episode, we’ll be discussing how to give feedback that is brain friendly by using the “Yes And” technique.

| 0:59.5 | Instead of just giving it because we're being courageous and we're saying everything |
