What is a key aspect of effective feedback provided by OC/Ts?

Being specific and targeted in recommendations is a key aspect of effective feedback provided by Observer Coach/Trainers (OC/Ts). This specificity ensures that feedback is actionable and relevant to the individual being coached. When feedback includes detailed observations and concrete examples, it helps the recipient understand exactly what behaviors to adjust or enhance. Specific feedback is more likely to lead to meaningful improvements because it guides the individual in a focused manner, making it easier for them to apply the recommendations in practice.

Additionally, targeted feedback aligns with the goal of fostering growth and development within the coaching process. It empowers individuals to clearly identify areas of strength and areas needing improvement, thus facilitating a more structured approach to their professional development. This specific approach contrasts sharply with vague suggestions, which can lead to confusion or misunderstandings about what changes are needed.
