The ultimate guide to giving feedback that gets positive results
Manage episode 438471289 series 2685497
Dr. Bethy Campbell joins Monica to explore the delicate dance of offering constructive criticism while maintaining positive relationships. Learn practical strategies for delivering feedback that empowers growth, builds trust, and respects autonomy.
Whether you're offering feedback as a manager, colleague, spouse, or friend, this episode provides pro-level strategies that will transform your communication and foster meaningful change in others.
Key Takeaways
- We earn the right to be able to offer feedback by focusing on the relationship first and establishing connection.
- Always precede constructive feedback with genuine praise to build trust and boost self-efficacy.
- Avoid using "but" when transitioning from praise to constructive feedback, as it tends to negate everything that came before.
- Frame constructive feedback positively by encouraging specific alternative behaviors rather than simply telling someone to stop doing something.
- When giving feedback, "strike when the iron is cold" to ensure emotions are not running high and both parties are receptive.
