Practice giving and receiving feedback at work
Feedback fails in two directions. When you're giving it, you either pad it until it disappears, or sharpen it until it bruises. When you're getting it, you either fold or fight.
TalkCraft drills both sides. Short, specific scenarios — missed deadlines, tone issues, performance reviews — with a coach note on every choice.
Conversations this covers
- A missed deadline you need to name without making it personal
- A tone issue in Slack that's starting to grate
- A performance review you're not looking forward to
- Feedback from a peer that stung more than it should have
- A direct report who goes defensive every time
- A boss whose feedback feels vague and moving
What the app actually does
- Dedicated courses: Difficult Conversations at Work and Receiving Feedback Without Defensiveness.
- Multiple-choice responses grounded in real work situations.
- Coach notes explain why a reply sounds warm, sharp, vague, or defensive.
- Short sessions — honest enough for your walk to the coffee machine.
Direct is not harsh — vague is
'Sloppy' is a personality verdict. 'Three numbers don't match the source' is a fact. Good feedback is specific, short, and ends with a concrete next step — the app gives you dozens of reps at writing exactly that.
Receiving feedback is a skill too
Most people treat feedback like an attack. That's a defensive reflex, not a personality trait. The 'Receiving Feedback Without Defensiveness' course trains the pause that keeps you from arguing with your own performance review.
