32. How to Give and Receive Feedback at Work Without Your Nervous System Losing It
<p>Feedback is supposed to be one of the most useful tools at work. It's how we grow, how teams improve, how managers develop their people, how problems get surfaced before they become disasters. And yet most people either dread receiving it, avoid giving it, or deliver it so carefully that nothing useful gets communicated.</p><p>Today, I’ll tell you the reason feedback is so hard (spoiler alert: it’s not a communication skills problem, it’s a nervous system problem), and how to give and receive feedback with ease.</p><p>____________________________</p><p>Full blog and show notes: <a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/feedback-nervous-system-at-work" rel="nofollow">https://abbymedcalf.com/feedback-nervous-system-at-work</a></p><p>Download the free Feedback Reset Card, your guide to preparing to give and receive feedback without your nervous system running the show: <a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/feedback-reset-card" rel="nofollow">https://abbymedcalf.com/feedback-reset-card</a></p><p>Join my online community, One Love Collective, on Substack:<a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/substack" rel="nofollow"> https://abbymedcalf.com/substack</a>.</p><p>You'll get...</p><p>✨ Early drops + ad-free podcast episodes</p><p>✨ Worksheets, journal prompts, downloads, and guided visualizations</p><p>✨ Community chats and live Q&A calls with Abby</p><p>_________</p><p> Subscribe to the Love Letter and get my little messages each week! </p><p><a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/loveletter-opt-in/%C2%A0" rel="nofollow">https://abbymedcalf.com/loveletter-opt-in/ </a></p><p>👉 Pick up a copy of my new book, Boundaries Made Easy: Your Roadmap to Connection, Ease and Joy:<a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries" rel="nofollow"> https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries</a></p><p>👉 Pick up The Workbook: Boundaries Made Easier to use as a companion to the book or as a standalone masterclass:<a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries-workbook" rel="nofollow"> https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries-workbook</a></p><p>👉 Buy my #1 bestselling book on Amazon, Be Happily Married: Even If Your Partner Won’t Do a Thing:<a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/book%C2%A0" rel="nofollow"> https://abbymedcalf.com/book </a></p><p>____________________________</p><p>Looking for past episodes of the Relationships Made Easy Podcast?

31. Stop Waiting for Your Boss to Notice You
<p>You can’t control your boss. You can’t change their personality, override their decisions, or make them manage you the way you wish they would. But you can absolutely influence how the relationship works, how much visibility you get, how well your needs are understood, and how much your contributions actually register. That’s what managing up is. It’s not manipulation. It’s not going around your boss or undermining their authority. It’s the deliberate, strategic work of building a relationship with the person above you so you can do your best work and they can do theirs. Today, I’m walking you through exactly how to do it.</p><p>____________________________</p><p>Full blog and show notes: <a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/managing-up-at-work" rel="nofollow">https://abbymedcalf.com/managing-up-at-work</a></p><p>Grab the free Managing Up Starter Kit, your guide to understanding your boss’s working style and communicating in ways that actually land: <a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/managing-up-kit" rel="nofollow">https://abbymedcalf.com/managing-up-kit</a></p><p>Join my online community, One Love Collective, on Substack:<a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/substack" rel="nofollow"> https://abbymedcalf.com/substack</a>. </p><p>You'll get...</p><p>✨ Early drops + ad-free podcast episodes</p><p>✨ Worksheets, journal prompts, downloads, and guided visualizations</p><p>✨ Community chats and live Q&A calls with Abby</p><p>_________</p><p> Subscribe to the Love Letter and get my little messages each week! </p><p><a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/loveletter-opt-in/%C2%A0" rel="nofollow">https://abbymedcalf.com/loveletter-opt-in/ </a></p><p>👉 Pick up a copy of my new book, Boundaries Made Easy: Your Roadmap to Connection, Ease and Joy:<a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries" rel="nofollow"> https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries</a></p><p>👉 Pick up The Workbook: Boundaries Made Easier to use as a companion to the book or as a standalone masterclass:<a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries-workbook" rel="nofollow"> https://abbymedcalf.com/boundaries-workbook</a></p><p>👉 Buy my #1 bestselling book on Amazon, Be Happily Married: Even If Your Partner Won’t Do a Thing:<a href="https://abbymedcalf.com/book%C2%A0" rel="nofollow"> https://abbymedcalf.com/book </a></p><p>____________________________</p><p>Looking for past episodes of the Relationships Made Easy Podcast?
