Feedback can be tricky. If you're giving feedback, you probably feel worried about your approach and about how the other person will feel. If you're the receiver, you might feel understandably vulnerable and even under attack. From either side, feedback is delicate!  So in this episode, Rachel and Jonathan raid the Mind Tools interview archives to find ways we can make feedback a little easier. Jonathan brings together advice on giving feedback and making performance conversations safe and productive. Then Rachel then looks at techniques for taking the stress out of receiving feedback, so we can get the most from hearing what others have to say about us.
