Give Constructive Feedback to a Colleague

    Help me give constructive feedback to someone I work with. This is informal, growth-oriented feedback — not a formal performance review or HR document.

The situation (what I observed — the specific behavior and its impact, not a personality judgment):
{{situation}}

Who it's for and our relationship (a peer, my report, someone senior): {{recipient}}
What I want to happen next: {{goal}}

Please:
- Anchor the feedback in specific, observable behavior and its concrete impact — not vague traits or labels.
- Be direct but kind: make the point clearly without softening it into vagueness, and assume good intent.
- Include what's going well where it's genuine, and end with a clear, actionable suggestion and an opening for their side of it.
- Keep it a two-way conversation opener, not a verdict.

Use only what I observed; don't escalate or invent specifics. If my note reads as a personality judgment rather than a behavior, help me reframe it — and if the impact isn't clear, ask before writing.
