My life's work is to activate and galvanize leaders. My philosophy is summed up in 3 words. FUN. GROW. WIN. Over the next 30 days, I'll be writing 30 Atomic Essays.

Every day I teach leaders to give and receive feedback. Want to know the tool I recommend the most?

The KALM Feedback framework.

Why does it work so well? It is only 4 simple questions. Which makes it accessible, repeatable, and transferrable.

KEEP

What am I currently DOING and need to keep or continue doing

ADD

What am I currently not doing but need to ADD or START doing

LESS

What am I currently doing but need to STOP or DO IT LESS?

MORE

What am I currently doing, and need to do it MORE?
