Ep 23: The Do's and Don'ts of Feedback in Corporate Life

This week on The Corporate Burnouts, we're back with part two of our personality test conversation—and this time, we're going even deeper. We're joined by culture strategist, leadership coach, and DISC-certified practitioner Amy Nunn, who helps leaders decode communication breakdowns and build feedback-driven teams that actually work.

We cover how to read and apply DISC assessments at work, what “adaptive vs. natural” behaviors reveal about your leadership style, and why so many teams fail to give or receive feedback the right way. You’ll get tactical strategies for navigating feedback without creating conflict, plus real-life examples on how communication impacts culture, collaboration, and even your own burnout.

From defensiveness and unsolicited criticism to developing emotionally intelligent teams, this conversation is for anyone who's ever dreaded performance reviews, misunderstood their boss, or avoided giving hard feedback. Learn Amy's “observation, impact, expectation” formula, and discover how to create a safe culture where people actually want to stay and grow.

This episode is a must-listen for: ✨ Team leaders, entrepreneurs, and corporate employees navigating feedback ✨ Managers looking to improve communication and reduce turnover ✨ Anyone feeling undervalued, misunderstood, or stuck in a toxic culture

If you’ve ever said, “That feedback didn’t feel fair,” or “I don’t know how to say this without causing conflict,”—you need this episode.
