Fearless Feedback

Fearless Feedback is the practical, no-nonsense guide managers have been waiting for. This is not a book on why feedback is important—you already know it is. This is a book laser-focused on the how: how to have meaningful feedback conversations while preserving the relationships you've worked hard to build.

Built on two decades of real management experience, every framework, scenario, and piece of sample language in these pages has been lived, refined, and proven before it ever made it onto the page. You'll finish a chapter and walk into your next conversation with genuine confidence.

You'll learn how to handle the nuances no one else teaches:

Navigating reactions to feedback

Dealing with secondhand feedback

Approaching feedback for remote employees

Addressing when feedback hasn't been implemented

Knowing when it may be time to let someone go

Balancing when personal impacts professional

Less anxiety. More confidence. Stronger teams. This is the book you'll keep coming back to.

Meet the Author

Katie O’Brien Ceccarini is the Founder of Endurance Management Coaching and a Certified Executive Coach.

At the age of 22, she began managing her first team.  Nobody handed her a management handbook, she figured it out the hard way.  Botched conversations, mistakes, and the kind of stretched-thin moments every manager knows too well.

That experience is exactly why she wrote this book. Not to give you theory, but to give you what actually works and how to do it.

Over the past 20 years, she’s managed, trained, and developed thousands of people.  From scaling Customer Success at Yelp to leading Learning & Development at Opendoor to launching her own business.  She’s been there, done that.

Now she works with organizations like eBay, Databricks, Munchkin, Vital Farms, PAN Communications, and more to develop their managers and leaders.

She’s been teaching her Fearless Feedback Mastery course on Maven since 2022, empowering managers and earning a 4.8 out of 5 course rating.

Everything in these pages comes from real teams, real conversations, and real results.
