ICF Arizona: Book Study 2023 Q2 – Fearless Feedback: A Guide for Coaching Leaders to See Themselves More Clearly
May 24 @ 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Hosted by ICF Arizona

Fearless Feedback:
A Guide for Coaching Leaders to See Themselves More Clearly and Galvanize Growth

The Book Study meets on Wednesday evenings at 6:00pm via Zoom for 1 hour. The meetings will be facilitated by our host, and participants are invited to select a chapter(s) to present each week.

Join us to increase your knowledge and enjoy lively discussions with a small group of fellow coaches.

Do you seek a feedback process that can be tailored to equip leaders to accomplish their professional goals? Do you need a practical guide for mining stakeholder feedback and framing it in ways that make leaders hungry for the insights? Are you tired of being constrained by cookie-cutter 360-degree feedback tools used in organizations, tools that can be tone deaf to the underlying emotions? Do you wish you could uncover the fears which inhibit the change a leader needs, so they can design actions for future growth? Then Fearless Feedback is your answer! Among many things, this book provides: A practical seven-step framework on how to structure stakeholder feedback for leaders; An actionable guide with specific dos and don’ts; Intriguing dialogue between coach, leader, and stakeholder (articulating the unspoken thoughts and underlying emotions); and tested techniques, tips, tools, and templates!

When: Wednesday evenings from 6:00pm – 7:00pm (AZ time)

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD;
One of today’s most insightful and influential thinkers offers a powerful exploration of inequality and the lesson that generations of Americans have failed to learn: Racism has a cost for everyone—not just for people of color.

WINNER OF THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARD ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, The Washington Post, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Ms. magazine, BookRiot, Library Journal

This is the book I’ve been waiting for.”
Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist 

Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis of 2008 to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a root problem: racism in our politics and policy making. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But how did this happen? And is there a way out?

McGhee embarks on a deeply personal journey across the country from Maine to Mississippi to California, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm—the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. Along the way, she meets white people who confide in her about losing their homes, their dreams, and their shot at better jobs to the toxic mix of American racism and greed. This is the story of how public goods in this country—from parks and pools to functioning schools—have become private luxuries; of how unions collapsed, wages stagnated, and inequality increased; and of how this country, unique among the world’s advanced economies, has thwarted universal healthcare.

But in unlikely places of worship and work, McGhee finds proof of what she calls the Solidarity Dividend: the benefits we gain when people come together across race to accomplish what we simply can’t do on our own. The Sum of Us is not only a brilliant analysis of how we arrived here but also a heartfelt message, delivered with startling empathy, from a black woman to a multiracial America. It leaves us with a new vision for a future in which we finally realize that life can be more than a zero-sum game.

ABOUT HOW TO KNOW A PERSON

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A practical, heartfelt guide to the art of truly knowing another person in order to foster deeper connections at home, at work, and throughout our lives—from the author of The Road to Character and The Second Mountain.

As David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.”

And yet we humans don’t do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them? What kind of conversations should you have? What parts of a person’s story should you pay attention to?

Driven by his trademark sense of curiosity and his determination to grow as a person, Brooks draws from the fields of psychology and neuroscience and from the worlds of theater, philosophy, history, and education to present a welcoming, hopeful, integrated approach to human connection. How to Know a Person helps readers become more understanding and considerate toward others, and to find the joy that comes from being seen. Along the way it offers a possible remedy for a society that is riven by fragmentation, hostility, and misperception.

The act of seeing another person, Brooks argues, is profoundly creative: How can we look somebody in the eye and see something large in them, and in turn, see something larger in ourselves? How to Know a Person is for anyone searching for connection, and yearning to be understood.
