Constructive Feedback Practice Worksheet

"Your presentation wasn't good" is feedback. It's also useless. The person knows something went wrong and has no idea what. The better version, from this worksheet's cheat sheet: the data section was hard to follow, and a different chart type might help.

The worksheet gives you a formula (situation, impact, next steps) and asks you to use it on a real conversation, ideally one you've been putting off. Write it before you have it. Afterwards, note what changed.

Inside

• The practice worksheet, built around situation, impact and next steps
• A two-page cheat sheet of thirteen principles, each with a weak version, a better one and why it works
• The second page of the cheat sheet is written for coaches giving feedback to clients

The cheat sheet includes the feedback sandwich, praise on either side of the criticism. Whether it lands depends on the context: the relationship, the stakes, and how often the person has heard it before.

Also in: Better Communication, Stronger Relationships, 13 tools, £17, with the Word Swap Ideas Cards and two pieces on handling conflict.
