If you really care about someone, then you won’t BS them, or avoid giving them the feedback that they really need. You’ll tell them what they really need to know precisely because you do care for them.

The easiest way to do this is to shift from focusing on your discomfort, fears and worries, to focusing on their needs. When you are ‘on purpose’ and in service of others, your fears dissipate, your confidence grows, and your contribution makes an impact.

Think about someone you need to deliver feedback to. If you really cared about this person, what do they need to know or do? Now you can provide that feedback to them from a place of great empathy and care.

QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON

• Do you lean into discomfort or avoid it?
