Ever wondered how the best leaders deliver feedback that empowers their teams rather than crushes them? We had a fantastic unscripted chat with our amazing friend and psychologist, Julie where we ventured into the territory of delivering constructive feedback in the workplace. Julie guided us through understanding the nuances of communication, how important the words are that we use, exploring effective feedback methods, and managing our emotions under pressure—essential tools for any leader wanting to encourage a positive and productive work environment.Understanding the Power of WordsFeedback is often tricky. Julie emphasised how our language can profoundly affect how our message is received. Instead of defaulting to statements like "You failed," Julie suggests using less loaded language such as "Let's explore what went wrong and how we can fix it." This approach not only diffuses tension but also helps the individual focus on solutions. It's about facilitating a conversation around "the mistake" instead of labelling someone with "failure."Inviting Participation and OwnershipOne standout piece of advice from Julie was the idea of inviting employees into the solution-making process. Rather than dictating tasks, frame feedback sessions as a team collaboration against a common problem. Ask questions like, "What do you think went wrong?" or "How could we improve this together?" This method fosters a culture of trust and shared responsibility.Managing Emotional ResponsesAs leaders, it's easy to let stress and frustration take the steering wheel, especially when things go awry. Julie explained that while expressing disappointment is legitimate, there is a fine line between constructive criticism and dumping our stress onto others. She stressed the importance of self-regulation, echoing how our tone and approach can determine whether feedback leads to motivation or demotivation.Concentration on PositivesHamish mentioned an episode of The Imperfects where Billy Slater spoke about catching people doing the right thing. By acknowledging and celebrating positive actions, you build credibility and goodwill, making it easier to address areas of improvement when needed. This also sets a balance, ensuring team members know their strengths and contributions are recognised.Creating a Positive Work CultureUltimately, our discussion with Julie highlighted a critical theme that Hamish brought to the table —seeing the person, not just the problem. By creating a space where feedback is synonymous with growth, respect, and understanding, you set the stage for a thriving work culture. We also touched on the importance of addressing external issues affecting work performance, advocating for open conversations grounded in empathy and support.As always, chatting with Julie was a thought-provoking experience, and her insights were invaluable for us as leaders in the building industry striving to improve how we communicate with our teams. We left the conversation more equipped to handle the dynamic nature of leadership with a heart, and hope these tips inspire you to do the same at your workplace.LINKS:Connect with us on Instagram: @themindfulbuilderpodConnect with Hamish:Instagram: @sanctumhomesWebsite:

We've had several requests for a podcast with former jockey and popular Sky Thoroughbred Central presenter Bernadette Cooper. The enquirers were unaware Bernie had already been one of our podcast guests, as far back as April of 2019. Another email in the past week has settled the issue. We're going to pluck the five and a half year old podcast from the archives and give it another run. One of Bernie's roles at the time was to interview winning jockeys immediately after major races had been run at the major Sydney carnivals. She conducted those interviews on horseback as Billy Slater did so smoothly at the recent Melbourne Cup carnival. The popular host was disappointed when contractual arrangements between Racing NSW and Channel 7 precluded her from being the first to interview Hugh Bowman after Winx's swansong victory in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes. She talks of the emotions shown by winning riders after the Gr 1 races- some more expressive than others. Bernie looks back on her final riding stint in Macau where she was involved in the worst fall of her entire career. She talks of a winning treble on her first day back in the saddle, and the shock she received when stewards accused her of not allowing another horse to run on its merits. The former jockey talks of her return to Australia and a whole new life beginning with a job behind the front desk at the Star Casino. Then came her lucky break in racing media, and she's never looked back. A few little things have changed since the original podcast. For instance Bernie's daughter Stella is now 17, still studying ballet but heavily involved in the furthering of her education. It's always good to pluck a past gem from the archives. Bernadette Cooper is one of the warmest personalities in Australian racing media. She was at her best in this 2019 podcast.

Gold Coast back rower turned centre Beau Fermor played another big role in his team's gritty win over Cronulla. His form has so impressed Des Hasler that his coach is putting him forward as a potential Queensland selection for the final State of Origin match. Fermor told Andrew Moore and that team that he hopes he's in the conversation and that he feels he's done everything he can to earn a place in Billy Slater's squad. Fermor also said there has been a mentality shift at the Titans where now they seem to be able to defend their way to a win which wasn't a strength of the club in the past.

Unfortunately, we all know what bad leadership looks like, for many of us, it doesn't take long to think of examples…but what does it actually take to be a ‘good leader'? This week in the Academy of Imperfection, Hugh, Ryan and Josh are joined by a legend of the sport, former rugby league player and current coach of the Queensland Maroons, Billy Slater. Billy has been called the best fullback ever to have played the game. As a player, he's won more awards than we could possibly list. As a coach and a leader, he is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode, Billy talks about leadership, coaching and how he approaches it. He shares how playing to your strengths can actually be more beneficial than lingering on weaknesses; he discusses how sometimes, good leadership requires ‘letting go'; and he shares why he spends so much time creating feelings and moments for his players, reminding them that what they're trying to achieve is something bigger than themselves.
