How to Give Negative Feedback Without Sounding Like Your Boss

from Office Hours with Fexingo: Daily Career Q&A, Workplace Questions, and Professional Advice · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna tackle one of the hardest career conversations: giving critical feedback to a peer or manager without damaging the relationship. They break down the specific framing that works—using concrete behavior, impact, and a request—and share a real example from a listener who had to tell a senior colleague their presentation was confusing. Plus, they discuss the psychological barriers that make us soften the message and how to avoid the 'feedback sandwich' trap. If you've ever struggled to say something hard to someone you work with, this episode gives you a repeatable script. #Careers #WorkplaceAdvice #Feedback #CommunicationSkills #CriticalFeedback #ProfessionalGrowth #ConflictResolution #PeerFeedback #ManagingUp #Leadership #EmotionalIntelligence #RadicalCandor #OfficeDynamics #CareerQandA #WorkplaceRelationships #ConstructiveCriticism #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
