Feedback that builds trust
3 ways to give feedback that actually builds trust:
1. Start with curiosity: “Can I share something I’m noticing?”
2. Focus on behavior, not identity.
3. Pair truth with belief: “Here’s what I see in you, and why it matters.”
Feedback shouldn’t sting.
It should strengthen.
When done well, feedback doesn’t tear down.
It builds up.
