‘I need to speak with you.’
Did your heart just stop dead in its tracks? You’re not alone. So how do you think the word ‘feedback’ would make you feel as a follow-up? It sounds negatively loaded, like you’re about to be criticized.

Check out Teri Quimby’s full video on why this is an effective swap.
