About Clayton Thompson
I believe feedback is one of the most underused, misunderstood tools in leadership, and one of the most powerful when done right.After more than 20 years leading high-stakes teams in the U.S. Air Force, I saw firsthand how unclear, inconsistent feedback could stall performance and erode trust. But I also saw what was possible when feedback was intentional, aligned, and built into the rhythm of leadership.That experience led me to create the RA-RA Feedback Model, a simple system for leaders who want to do more than react. RA-RA helps you Ready, Align, Reflect, and Adjust, turning feedback into a leadership advantage.Now, through Ember & Oak Leadership, I write, speak, and consult on how to build feedback cultures that fuel trust, accelerate growth, and drive real performance.Whether you\'re scaling a startup or leading from the frontlines, I’m here to help you lead with clarity, coach with purpose, and grow through conversation.
