Make Feedback a Two-Way Conversation

Useful feedback is easier to act on when expectations are clear on both sides. The person sharing it can name a specific observation and what change they hope to see; the person receiving it can ask what “better” would look like and explain what feels realistic. Then agree on one next step and when to check in.

That leaves room for honest differences without turning feedback into a verdict. What helps you make feedback conversations feel fair and actionable?
