In conversations, presentations, interviews, and even everyday discussions, we often rush to respond.

But one of the most effective communication tools is also the simplest - just pause for one second before you respond.

I can appreciate how hard giving feedback can feel be and it can make the giver and receiver of the feedback feel uncomfortable. But that is where using EEE can help you. Example - Effect - Expectation. So next time you think about giving feedback - supporting a colleague, leading a team, mentoring someone, or even navigating a tricky situation at home, think about using these three headings, because giving feedback doesn't need to create tension. Using this model, it becomes clear, fair and constructive every time.

But a pause can fix this and provide more confidence and also gives you brain time to catch up - yes we all need that sometimes!
