Twenty phrases for opening, describing, explaining and closing feedback, from ‘I noticed in the report that’ to ‘next time, try.’ Built on the what-why-do pattern.

Ten negative feedback comments as they are usually said, and the same ten rewritten about the work, with the why and the next step. The difference between criticism and correction.

Give feedback within a day, about the work, in private, in three sentences: what happened, why it matters, what to do next. The professional standard and how to keep it when busy.

What-why-do, ask-first, and compare-with-the-brief. Three feedback techniques that work in any team, with examples, and why the sandwich and the annual review are not on the list.

Feedback splits two ways: positive or corrective, formal or informal. What each type is for, which one teams get too little of, and how to balance all four.

Three feedback statements from real work, each in three sentences: what happened, why it mattered, what to do next. Why this shape works and how to write your own in ten seconds.

One example of positive feedback, explained line by line: the action, the effect, and what to keep doing. Plus five more you can adapt, and the two mistakes that turn praise into noise.
