Critique, both giving it and receiving it, is just like every other skill: it requires practice, persistence, and patience. Here's my take 👇
Great article. Giving feedback with care is a great tip.
As humans we can be good at giving praise but we generally struggle to know how to give more rounded feedback—areas to improve vs criticism.

I'm so glad you found it useful! I agree, we're taught from a young age to be kind and polite, (which is great!) so we're quite good at it, but as a result we don't really get a chance to practice critiquing with kindness too.
