How to give constructive feedback

Coaching tip

4:00

Feedback and exploring how others may be feeling have a much greater impact on behaviour change if we give it immediately after the behaviour occurs. That’s because our brains more strongly associate emotions with whatever action has just occurred. It also works much better if we talk about the actions, not the person and give a specific and unbiased example of what we’re talking about.

This week do your 1:1 sessions using coaching skills as usual, but also look for opportunities throughout the week to give feedback or create opportunities for greater awareness of self and others.
