Constructive Feedback Framework

Really, it’s about the three things in order:

• Goal: Identify what the person hopes to achieve moving forward.
• Fear: Understand the concern or risk they may be protecting against.
• Feedback: Share the observed behavior and its impact, linked to their goal while acknowledging fear.

How it Works

• Goal gives direction: Why does this matter?
• Fear explains resistance: What’s stopping the charge?
• Feedback provides actionable insight: What exactly needs to shift?

Impact

Together, this creates a feedback conversation that is empathetic, specific, and motivation, instead of triggering defensiveness or confusion.
