The art of meaningful feedback

August 7, 2025

Feedback isn’t about being right—it’s about being helpful. The most valuable feedback focuses on impact rather than preference.

I ask specific questions: How does this affect your workflow? What outcome were you hoping for? What would make this more valuable?

I provide feedback constructively: Start with what works, then suggest improvements, always tie back to user needs and business goals.

The best feedback is actionable, specific, and timely. It moves the work forward rather than creating debate.

Meaningful feedback builds relationships and improves outcomes. It’s not criticism—it’s collaboration in service of excellence.
