You have some suggestions.

What can we do to make them politely, Pippa?

Yeah, and as we said before, it's good to try and make a suggestion rather than just criticising.

So you could say, could I suggest, and that's a nice introduction, and then you can say what you think they could change afterwards.

Yeah, sometimes it's easier to talk about things like this with someone one to one when there isn't an audience.

Some people might not want it being brought up in front of others.

I think one of the most important things with feedback, but sometimes the hardest things to do is to try and keep emotion out of it.

So don't get into an argument.

Also, I mean, feedback, it should be clear, but it isn't always.

So try to make sure that you understand exactly what the feedback is.

So try and clarify it.

You might say, when you say whatever, do you mean that I should?

So just trying to make sure that you understand the feedback first before you start addressing it.

And also something else that can happen is someone might suggest something that actually you've already tried it and it didn't work.

And then you probably want to explain that.

You might say, I did think about doing this, but I was worried it would impact this.

Or I did try this, but then this happened.

You're explaining why you can't do a particular thing or why you think it might be a bad idea.

See you then.

Bye.
