Brene Brown’s: “Engaged Feedback Checklist” is one of my favorite tools to use with couples and families for most of my career.

I know I’m ready to give feedback when…

• I’m ready to sit next to you rather than across from you.
• I’m willing to put the problem in front of us rather than between us (or sliding it toward you).
• I’m ready to listen, ask questions, and accept that I may not fully understand the issue.
• I’m ready to acknowledge what you do well instead of picking apart your mistakes.
• I recognize your strengths and how you can use them to address your challenges.
• I can hold you accountable without shaming or blaming.
• I am open to owning my part.
• I can genuinely thank someone for their efforts rather than criticize them for their failings.
• I can talk about how resolving these challenges will lead to growth and opportunity.
• I can model the vulnerability and openness that I expect to see from you.
• I am aware of power dynamics, implicit bias, and stereotypes.
