When Growth Feels Like a Threat: Feedback, Fatigue, and Faith

What do you do when a growth opportunity feels like a threat? In this episode of The Next Move, I share a personal moment when the idea of a 360-degree evaluation landed wrong—not because I feared feedback, but because trust wasn’t in the room. I talk about the layers of fatigue leaders of color often carry, why even “neutral” tools can feel like surveillance, and how I reframed the process through the lens of Psalm 139:23—“Search me, O God, and know my heart.” This isn’t just about leadership evaluations. It’s about becoming, rebuilding trust, and learning to say yes to growth on your terms. Whether you’re the one being evaluated or the one introducing the tools, this episode will challenge you to think about how feedback really lands—and what it takes for it to transform instead of harm.
