Giving Feedback without Fear

When giving feedback, it’s not just about the words you choose-it’s how your intentions come across. People tend to get defensive when they’re unsure of your motives. That’s why it’s so important to start tough conversations by clearly stating your positive intent-letting them know you’re invested in their growth and well-being. This helps build trust, creates psychological safety, and opens the door to a more honest and productive dialogue. Listen (or watch) now to my conversation with Emily Gregory at speakerdynamics.com 🎧
