Building a Feedback Culture

Ever feel like your best ideas never see the light of day? If you feel this way, it's likely your team feels it too. It's all too common – in many teams, people hold back from speaking up, fearing judgment or simply because they're unsure how their ideas will be received. And when the focus is on following the rules, innovation takes a backseat.

In this course, Indira helps you break through those barriers. By blending leadership wisdom, neuroscience, and real-world business examples, she offers a practical roadmap to create a culture where feedback flows freely and ideas thrive. With her trademark humor, she'll guide you through the mental hurdles holding your team back and provide actionable steps to cultivate a culture of open communication.

Learn to spot when power dynamics or trust issues are getting in the way. Lead by example, making changes that encourage everyone to contribute their ideas. Whether it's building bridges between team members, showing humility, or providing the right mix of support and challenge, you'll create an environment where collaboration and creativity flourish.

The payoff? A team that works together seamlessly, where bold ideas are encouraged, and everyone feels empowered to contribute.
