The Art of Giving Feedback Without Conflict

“Great leaders correct without crushing.”

Feedback should build people up, not break them down. If your words create defensiveness instead of growth, it’s time to rethink your approach.

Angie's Tip: Use the SBI Method when giving feedback:

Situation – “Yesterday in the meeting…”
Behavior – “You interrupted multiple times…”
Impact – “It made the team feel unheard.”

The Power of Listening in Leadership

“A true leader listens more than they speak.”

Instead of preparing your response while someone is talking, try being fully present. Leaders who listen build trust, resolve conflicts, and make better decisions.

Angie's Tip: Next time someone shares a concern, respond with:
“Tell me more about that.”
“What do you need from me right now?”

Leadership shows up everywhere, Tammica. Thank you for being a leader in an industry—self-care and self-love—where building trust is key!
