Effective feedback requires a four-part formula: start with a micro-yes to prepare the brain, provide specific data points, explain the impact and end with a question to encourage dialogue. Regularly seeking feedback fosters continuous learning.

Summary

KEY POINTS:
  1. Begin feedback with a clear, preparatory question.
  2. When giving feedback, use specific examples, try to avoid vague terms or words.
  3. End feedback with a question, to promote two-way dialogue.
