In this episode of TFR: This Feels Right, your host Joel breaks down how to give feedback that inspires action and trust without triggering defensiveness, resistance, or the "being called into the principal’s office” feeling.
It’s not about sugarcoating or the tired sandwich model. It’s about giving feedback that’s soft on the person, hard on the problem—and helps them grow. Whether you're a leader, peer, or coach, you’ll learn how to shift your mindset and approach feedback as a tool for growth—not correction.
Key takeaways:
• Why old models like 'the Sandwich' don't work
• How to use intention to create safer, more productive conversations
• Four steps to deliver feedback that’s clear, motivating, and actionable
This episode gives you practical tools to make feedback feel right—for you and the person receiving it.
