We keep being told that "feedback is a gift". But who really welcomes unsolicited negative feedback? Brain research shows it often triggers a “fight or flight” response, flooding our brains with stress hormones & limiting our ability to absorb information. @dastillman says it's much more effective to use a "Rose, Thorn, Bud" approach to giving feedback:
1) Rose: something that’s positive, working well.
2) Thorn: gaps, clear negative issues.
3) Bud: areas of potential growth that are present but not fully realised.
