Want to be an effective workplace coach? Provide feedback!
Feedback is an essential element of effective coaching. Providing it is one of a coach’s primary responsibilities, and receiving it is a major benefit of being coached.

When you provide feedback . . .
- Know your audience.
- Start in a positive way.
