Georgia Murch
Georgia has been in the business of building better cultures and growing better humans for over 25 years. She’s led teams and businesses, so she understands and appreciates the complexity of humans and the workplace.
Georgia is a best-selling author with three books in the feedback, culture and personal development space. She has appeared on The Morning Show, Sky News, The Today Show, ABC radio and written for Huffington Post, AFR, The Australian, news.com.au, Business Chicks, CEO World, Australian HR Institute and Modern Business.
Georgia puts passion on a podium and make sure there’s no gloom on Zoom. People say Georgia inspires to do things better and be better and they love the laughs along the way. She runs kickarse leadership offsites and onlines (when we can’t gather in person). These are not for the faint hearted and are definitely not another tick-box strategic planning exercise.

Feedback that doesn’t suck!
Good feedback makes great cultures.
When we learn how to deliver and receive feedback well, business gets better. It grows teams, creates high-performance workplaces and helps us grow as humans. Despite this, feedback can be difficult. We actively avoid it. We don’t like it. Because we don’t know how to do it well. We assume telling is feedback.
We hide the key points behind well-meaning words. Or rip the band-aid off with such force the emotional wake creates more issues than the feedback set out to address.
In this funny and motivating talk, Georgia helps you understand what stops people from stepping into feedback moments. How people can embrace a different perspective. Seeing those moments as growth moments. For everyone involved.
Throughout the talk, Georgia guides the audience past the obstacles that get in the way of great feedback. Exposing the irrational and unfounded fears that hold people back from having useful conversations. Helping you recognise the pitfalls. And see feedback as a gift.
The presentation helps the audience:
- Understand the fears that get in the way of having the conversations that matter
- Rewrite some of the beliefs we have about feedback and its value
- Build some pragmatic tools to have those conversations in the moment
- Be a little less serious about feedback
