How to Give Feedback That Lands | Renee St Jacques | TED

Most managers give feedback. Few give feedback that actually works. Drawing on her background in psychology and executive coaching, Renee St Jacques breaks down what so many well-intentioned leaders get wrong — and introduces a three-part framework to help teams rebuild trust and perform at their best.

    Bullshit read contractual law and other laws and adhere to it.. do it bettter than law requires. Win.

    You can behave against everyones interest with politeness.. you can rob a person and destroy a person politely.. and impolitely.

    Sandwitching feedback would be an option when only written comminication is possible but verbally that would not be my choice.

    I rather provide the message unfiltered first, pauze for dramatic effect, then soften the blow.
    Descreetly so nobody loses face and i get the cooperation i need.

    What motivates them? How about a salary increase that allows them to realistically keep up with today’s cost of living. add a 4th C compensate

    Hey TED team! Your business and leadership videos are incredibly inspiring. Please consider enabling YouTube’s new AI Auto-Dubbing feature for the Russian language on your channel. You have a massive Russian-speaking audience that would love to listen to these valuable insights in our native language. This would help millions of people grow and learn with you!

    Pay me accordingly or I’ll work somewhere else. Im Currently a licensed engineer that is underpaid for 12 years experience but my boss refuses raises. Sadly im in a niche corner of engineering so I’ve been unhirable after years of applying. Sucks im doomed in this field to never surpass $100k😢😢

      Unless you actually prepare to go work elsewhere, your words carry no weight.
      You know you can’t leave just like that, your boss knows that too.
      So take steps and make a little noise about your development, so it’s clear you will leave if nothing changes.
      The bright side of working in a niche space is that finding replacement will be more difficult and costly than just giving you your raise. Good luck!

    Sandwich technique is out-dated idiocy meant to cushion the blow. Communicate the need for improvement of what the employee is expected to deliver. Criticize not the person, but their product, and illustrate with evidence precisely how that product currently falls short of the expected standard.

    I had a manager who did the question thing 90% of the time when talking, and it did work for a couple of years but it eventually started feeling manipulative and I could never figure out what she wanted and I got frustrated and angry and avoided talking to her because I didn’t want to deal with the questions all the time. Eventually she realized I was doing this and started getting angry that I wouldn’t talk to her.

The Joy of Foraging Your Own Food | Alexis Nikole Nelson | TED

There’s a whole world of food growing right outside our doors — in our backyards, on sidewalks, in the parks we walk through every day — and most of us pass by it without a second glance.

There’s a whole world of food growing right outside our doors — in our backyards, on sidewalks, in the parks we walk through every day — and most of us pass by it without a second glance. Alexis Nikole Nelson wants to change that. A self-described “ethnobotany nerd,” she’s spent years teaching people how to forage the wild food hiding in plain sight. She explores how paying closer attention to what’s already around us can reconnect us to the land, our communities and each other. (This conversation, hosted by TED’s Whitney Pennington Rodgers, was part of an exclusive TED Membership event. TED Membership is the best way to support and engage with the big ideas you love from TED. To learn more, visit ted.com/membership.) (Recorded at TED Membership on September 9, 2026)
