Your Daily Dose of Storytelling for Jul 22, 2024

**Ever feel like your feedback conversations are just… awkward and ineffective?**

Hey! Imagine if every time you gave feedback, it was so impactful that the other person felt motivated and understood. Sounds pretty great, right?

**Here’s a game-changing tip**: Using *empathy* in your storytelling can make your feedback conversations more effective. Psychology shows that when people feel understood, they are more open to constructive feedback and change.

**Try this storytelling hack**: Next time you need to give feedback, start by sharing a personal story that shows you understand their situation. For example, instead of jumping straight into what needs improvement, start with, “I remember when I first started, I made a similar mistake. It was tough, but here’s what helped me improve…” This not only makes your feedback more relatable but also shows that you genuinely care.

**Your action step**: Think about your next feedback conversation. Prepare a personal story that demonstrates empathy. Notice how this changes the tone and effectiveness of your feedback.
