There’s one thing that will transform your approach:
Preparation.
This applies to both positive and critical feedback.
Step 1: Reflect.
What outcome do you want?
What points must you communicate clearly?
Step 2: Write it down.
Yes, actually write it down.
Why do all of this?
Preparation doesn’t just organize your thoughts.
It also builds confidence.
And it ensures you approach the conversation with clarity and purpose.
