In this episode of Off Script with Josh Fisher, Josh sits down with Colette Revere, founder of Open 360, to reshape one of the most dreaded workplace rituals: the performance review. Together, they explore how traditional reviews often fail to build trust, clarity, and motivation—and how feedback can become a lifeline instead of a weapon.
Drawing on her experience as a therapist and organizational consultant, Colette reveals why communication is the cornerstone of effective leadership and healthy teams. She shares how Open 360’s psychology-backed, human-centered feedback method moves beyond the outdated “once a year, anonymous, and one-sided” models to a living, breathing process based on radical transparency, real-time conversations, and ongoing relationship-building.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in toxic feedback loops or wondered how to create a culture of real connection and growth, this episode will give you powerful insights and practical tools to change the game.
