📝 7 Phrases I use to make giving feedback easier for myself (Wes Kao). "I noticed" that "this is a great start" for giving feedback in a modern environment. "At the same time" going forward you could sound "even more" authentic because "I believe you were trying to avoid hard feelings, but it doesn't quite work because it uses canned phrases. I recommend trying having a conversation." "From what I've seen" canned phrases come across as fake. You're "already" giving feedback regularly which is fantastic. Now, I'd love for you to have more real conversations where you're clear about your expectations.
(Seriously, though, the ideas behind the phrases and examples are extremely realistic.)
