WHAT SETS FDBK HQ APART
- We are Focused on Being World-Class in Only One Area
At Fdbk HQ (Feedback HQ if you wish to be formal) we don’t aspire to be experts in every area of human achievement. Instead, we focus only on being world-class experts in helping organizations achieve more by changing the way people think about feedback, talk about feedback, and engage in everyday feedback conversations.
Upgrading the quality and frequency of feedback conversations is our sole purpose because we know it transforms lives as well as organizations. It helps people grow. It engages them. It helps them excel. It helps teams and organizations win in the marketplace. And it makes people happier—people who are left in the dark about their performance aren’t happy about it (i.e., ignorance isn’t bliss).
- Our work is rooted in science.
We help people master principles and skills that are research-based (i.e., studies found in peer-reviewed journals) and field-tested.

3. We debunk myths rather than perpetuate them
Myths (aka conventional wisdom and good intentions) frequently derail our feedback conversations. For example, we know that:
- The conventional wisdom “diagnose before you prescribe” has been demonstrated to (1) escalate minor disagreements into major ones, and (2) lead to a lower commitment to change on the part of the feedback receiver.1
- Well-intentioned efforts to eliminate discomfort from feedback conversations actually undermine rather than enhance learning and behavioral change.

4. We Focus on Long-Term Behavior Change
The goal of learning is not only knowledge, but action, and we apply this philosophy to all our work with clients. Our experiential learning approach, including classroom practice and feedback, leads to both crucial mindset shifts as well as long-term behavior change.
At our workshops participants will often comment on their ah-ha moments, but weeks, months, and even years later, we will hear about the positive impact of their new skills.
Our focus on long-term behavior change also leads us to focus on teaching a few high-impact behaviors that participants can remember and apply on a daily basis—rather than a lot of things they will struggle to remember and rarely apply. To achieve this end we follow the 80:20 rule and ask ourselves: what are the high-impact behaviors—the 20%—that deliver 80 percent of the desired outcomes in terms of learning, growth, and goal attainment? Once we have identified the high-impact behaviors, we design our workshops to make the learning experience fun, memorable, and transferable.
