DENVER - s4story -- Fearless Feedback: Everything Managers Have Never Been Taught About Feedback by Katie O'Brien Ceccarini has added two more honors to its growing list of accolades, bringing its total to six awards. The book was named a winner in the 2026 IAN Book of the Year Awards, taking Gold in the "Career/Occupation" category and Bronze in "Business: Leadership/Management."

The book was also a finalist in a third category, "How-To," meaning it advanced in three categories after the first round of judging.

"Most managers are promoted for their results and then expected to give feedback with no training at all," said O'Brien Ceccarini. "These awards tell me the message is landing: feedback doesn't have to be something managers dread or avoid. It can be a skill they learn and use with confidence. I'm grateful to the judges and to every manager and leader who has put these ideas into practice."

Fearless Feedback gives managers practical tools for the conversations many avoid, from everyday coaching to difficult performance discussions. The frameworks are relatable, repeatable, and built from real-world practice, not just theory.

The IAN Book of the Year Awards recognize outstanding books from independent authors and publishers. The two new honors join previous recognition for the book, including 1st Place wins from The BookFest Awards, a Winner award from Goody Business Book Awards, and Distinguished Favorite honors from the NYC Big Book Awards.
