Helping you lead confident performance conversations at work

Popular Resources

The one thing that everyone agrees? That great performance is down to the conversations between you, the manager, and your people. They’re the oil in the organisation’s engine.

Hello, I’m Anna Wildman, and I’d be delighted to show you how to build these critical skills. I designed the CEDAR feedback model, and my aim is to help you feel confident every time you sit down in front of one of your team. Find here free resources, video examples, and much more.

Great for your people. And especially great for you.

The book

Now You're Talking!

By Anna Wildman

Over the last 30 years I’ve observed thousands of discussions at work and noticed that certain questions and skills help every discussion to bring out the best in people, EVEN when those conversations are tough. The purpose of this book is to fast-track you to the skills you need, so you don’t need to make the mistakes that have gone before.

Each conversation—20 in all—shows you how to navigate your way through using a simple structure, and offers examples of the words that work.
