One of the hardest things about professional life for many is giving or receiving feedback. Some may be inclined to interpret such critiques as personal attacks, while supervisors or managers may lack the necessary tact and empathy when assessing colleagues. Giving feedback in a way that is properly received and also brings about change is not easy, though, especially when you are working from home. One expert recommends using a simple method to structure it.

Anyone who regularly fails with constructive feedback for colleagues could give the "Start, Stop, Continue" method a try next time, as recommended by entrepreneur, author and podcaster Michael Asshauer.

The expert explains how it works: The feedback session should take place in private, with each person bringing at least one topic for the aspects Start, Stop and Continue for the other person.
