| 6/23/26 | ![]() Feedback is a true story | Feedback is one of the most important ways leaders provide support—but only when it is grounded in clarity, delivered with care, and followed by meaningful action. In this Lesson for Effectiveness episode of The Well-led Podcast, Kate Johnson summarizes the key leadership lessons from a month focused on feedback. Learn how to shift feedback from a moment of correction into an ongoing practice of support by adopting better mindsets, preparing with clearer expectations, removing ego from your message, and building the habit of receiving feedback yourself. If you would like practical tools that accompany conversations like this one, you can request the current free leadership toolkit at https://www.one23ltd.com/toolkits Subscribers to the onetwentythree ltd newsletter receive these resources automatically each month. Key takeaways Balanced, compassionate feedback is a way leaders support their teams. Effective feedback begins before the conversation by establishing clear expectations. Feedback requires preparation, specificity, kindness, and follow-up. Clarity and accountability create the foundation for useful performance conversations. Follow-up transforms feedback from criticism into genuine support. Strong feedback tells a true story of performance by focusing on facts. Removing ego helps keep feedback centered on the person receiving it. Precise language makes feedback easier to understand and act upon. Leaders strengthen feedback culture by asking for and receiving feedback themselves. Responding with gratitude creates trust and psychological safety.

| 6/16/26 | ![]() A story of support | Episode Description Feedback is not a one-time event, a required correction, or a gift someone should simply accept. Done well, feedback is an ongoing conversation that helps people understand the story of their work—the impact they are having, the progress they are making, and the support available to help them continue growing. In this episode of The Well-led Podcast, Kate Johnson welcomes Kim Rohrer, owner of Patchwork Portfolio, back for a conversation about feedback, storytelling, and the role leaders play in supporting performance. Together, they explore why feedback should center the person receiving it, how clarity and accountability create the foundation for meaningful conversations, and why effective feedback is ultimately an act of care. If you would like practical tools that accompany conversations like this one, you can request the current free leadership toolkit at https://www.one23ltd.com/toolkits . Subscribers to the onetwentythree ltd newsletter receive these resources automatically each month. Key takeaways Feedback is the way we ensure people know the results of their efforts. Effective feedback tells a true story about work performance, impact, and growth. Feedback should begin a conversation, not end one. Support is what turns feedback from criticism into leadership.

| 2/10/26 | ![]() Empathy is not about being nice | This episode of The Well-Led Podcast: Other Voices explores what empathy really means in leadership—and why it plays a central role in building trust at work. Rather than treating empathy as a soft skill or personality trait, contributors describe it as a learned practice that requires presence, restraint, and the willingness to sit with discomfort. Through personal stories and professional reflections, this episode helps leaders understand how empathy shows up in real moments and why it changes how people experience leadership. In this episode, contributors respond to two guiding questions: How do you define empathy? And who taught you to accept empathy from others—and how did that change your leadership? Their answers reveal that empathy is shaped by experience, strengthened through relationships, and essential to creating psychological safety without lowering expectations.
