The Shift Positive Method perfectly captures this by creating a social system of support and will leave you with the actionable steps to start implementing this today."

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and NYT bestselling author of The Earned Life, Triggers, and What Got You Here Won't Get You There
"What the authors have accomplished here is incredibly profound while at the same time being simple and direct. Shifting away from peer criticism and lack of individual commitment, this approach teaches leaders and team members alike to hone their personal awareness, participate in the development of others, and collectively drive success as a team. I've seen nothing like it, and it is effective."

Scott Holstine President at Teleflex
"I was a skeptic who respectfully argued that feedback should be anonymous. I was wrong. I've seen the difference in how people's eyes light up when they receive Shift Positive Method feedback. Feedback Reimagined is a brilliant catalyst to challenge your feedback ideas and to help people make long-lasting changes."

Senia Maymin Chief People Officer and co-author of the bestselling book Profit from the Positive
"What a refreshing method of feedback for leaders and teams today. Feedback Reimagined breaks down what makes feedback feel hard while paving the way for a different experience that's energizing and effective, reinforcing a culture of trust and psychological safety."

Mike Robbins Author of We're All in This Together
"I had the pleasure of experiencing the Shift Positive Method while leading People, Talent and Culture at Wieden+Kennedy. The mindset shift is built upon principles I believe in, arranged in a manageable framework. As an HR executive, there are so many models to consider; this is one of the few that leads to culture adoption and change. I couldn't recommend it more to other CHROs or CPOs."

Keehsa Jean-Baptiste Executive Level People, Talent and Culture Leader
"Once I was trained in the Shift Positive Method and learned the science and research behind what makes it so powerful, I made it the chosen method our coaches use with clients. I am thrilled that Pete and Jen have made Shift Positive even more accessible by writing Feedback Reimagined. Shift Positive is our go-to feedback tool for leaders wanting greater psychological safety, more engagement, enhanced collaboration, better performance, and stronger teams. I will be sharing this book with all of our HR partners!"

Ilene Schaffer
CEO and Executive Coach, Silicon Valley Change Executive Coaching
"When offering career advice over the years, I have often said, 'Know what you are good at, but more importantly, know what you are passionate about.' It was difficult for me to explain 'why' to people until I experienced the formal coaching around strengths-based feedback and took my team through the Shift Positive process. It's a breakthrough in getting alignment, positive energy, and motivation for yourself and your teams!"

Ty R. Silberhorn President & CEO, Apogee Enterprises
"My leadership strengths were crystalized and deepened with the Shift Positive Method. The process was a two-way mirror; it at once affirmed my self-awareness and offered insight into how others experience me. Armed with this profound knowledge, I see the possibility for my personal growth with greater clarity, optimism, and conviction to grow into my next leadership frontier."
