Here are some tips to give people feedback that they can hear and take it gracefully as well:

| Giving Feedback in a correct way is very important! |
- When you start to feel defensive, annoyed, or anxious, apply “The Golden Rule of Triggers”: whatever you feel compelled to do, don't. Instead, take a deep breath and feel your feet. Then you can make a choice about how to respond.
- Concentrating on a positive outcome rather than avoiding a negative one leads to greater persistence, flexibility, creativity, motivation, and satisfaction. In short, expecting success makes us more likely to succeed.
- When you feel the need to criticize “constructively”, don’t assume that you’re right. Be curious and open-ended rather than making declarations and coming to conclusions.
