More than two thirds of people say they want more feedback. Fewer than a third feel they're actually getting it. What's getting in the way? Your brain (and your team's brain!) is wired to read feedback as a social threat. It can shake your sense of status, belonging, fairness, and certainty all at once. And if you walk in carrying the wrong energy, your body language transmits it before you open your mouth. Jess calls it "going in crispy" - and once you're crispy, you've already lost the room. In Part 1 of this Wired to Work series on feedback, Jess breaks down the neuroscience of why feedback is so hard to give and receive.. and how to set up the conditions that make it actually land.

What's covered: Why more than two thirds of people want more feedback but fewer than a third feel they're getting it The SCARF model: why the brain treats feedback as a social threat Why "I don't have time for feedback" is really a value-versus-complexity problem How to normalize feedback before you ever sit down for a hard conversation Why going in "crispy" puts your team on defense before you've said a word Warm and direct: why vague kindness makes feedback land worse, not better If you lead people and you've ever avoided a feedback conversation you knew you should have had - this one's for you.

In this episode of Wired to Work, Jess Chapman sits down with strategic HR professional Meghan Morrison to unpack why workplace learning so often fails to create real change, and what it would take to make learning actually stick.

They explore why sending someone to a workshop is not the same as helping them grow, why application matters more than attendance, and why learning has to be built into the way work happens rather than added on after the fact.

You’ll hear:

• why classroom training alone rarely changes behaviour

• why application, reflection, and feedback matter more than binders and certificates

• how leaders can make learning part of everyday work without spending a fortune

• why mentorship, shadowing, and debriefing are often more powerful than formal courses

• what the 70-20-10 model looks like in real life

• how to help people take ownership of their growth instead of waiting to be “sent” to learn

• why teams need space to ask questions, make mistakes, and reflect in real time

This conversation is for leaders, HR teams, and anyone trying to build a workplace where people keep learning instead of just attending training.

If you’ve ever wondered why development plans go nowhere, why training gets forgotten, or how to make learning part of culture, this one is for you.
