The perception around feedback, whether direct or indirect, can be different based on cultural background. #WESTfeedback

In a recent study, those who received failure feedback were less likely to retain information than those who received success feedback. #WESTfeedback

Hold up the mirror to their superpower- they likely don't see it. #WESTfeedback

When giving feedback: Focus on their strengths, NOT YOURS. State desired OUTCOMES, NOT how to get there. #WESTfeedback

Change out 'but' for 'and' when giving feedback. Ex. "Your presentation was great but..." vs. "Your presentation was great, and..." #WESTfeedback

Feedback (focusing on a failed past event) vs Feedforward (focusing on a positive future). #WESTfeedback
