It’s an old episode, but still relevant, about giving tough feedback. My favorite point is this:
Think back to the times when you were given tough feedback – from coaches, teachers, and others who truly wished to help you grow. They treated you like you could handle the criticism and possessed the wherewithal to improve yourself. They empowered you to better yourself.

Feedback and criticism, when delivered with the right intention and in a constructive manner can be a really powerful thing.

I hope you enjoy these podcasts as much as I do.  They may be intended for business executives, but I think they’re useful to anyone who interacts with other humans.
