1 Choosing the right tools

The first step to using technology for feedback and coaching is to choose the right tools that suit your goals, context, and preferences. There are many options available, such as video conferencing, instant messaging, email, online surveys, learning management systems, and performance management platforms. Each tool has its own advantages and disadvantages, so you need to consider factors such as the frequency, timeliness, clarity, confidentiality, and interactivity of your feedback and coaching. For example, video conferencing may be more suitable for complex or sensitive topics that require verbal and non-verbal cues, while instant messaging may be more convenient for quick and informal feedback.

A key note to my perspective on this broad overview I feel is far too vast and situational. when applying technological tools in any given situation both personal and professional the tools aren't the same nor is the thought process. At least not if professional ethics someone to their authenticity.

2 Setting clear expectations

Another important aspect of using technology for feedback and coaching is to set clear expectations with your colleagues or employees about the purpose, process, and outcomes of your communication. You need to communicate why you are giving or seeking feedback, how you will deliver or receive it, what you expect from each other, and how you will follow up or measure progress. You also need to establish some ground rules and norms for using technology, such as the preferred modes, frequency, timing, and tone of your feedback and coaching. This will help to avoid confusion, misunderstanding, or resentment that may arise from using technology.

With my whole chest I fervently find this perspective both obtuse and short-sided. Which I believe is exactly how I would define an oxymoron. Expectations and boundaries should be clearly established much prior to a professional engagement. And as to stating for the presumed 'resentment' arising from using technology to help coach or tone feedback or even engage in correct timing is simply a personal problem, not a professional problem. While I agree that there is no message if it is not heard. Brings me back to my original sentiment; boundaries and expectations are preliminary foundations in any interpersonal, relationship, business, professional or personal.

3 Balancing positive and negative feedback

Using technology for feedback and coaching can be challenging, as it can amplify or distort the impact of your message, particularly when it comes to negative or constructive feedback. Technology can reduce social and emotional cues that help soften or clarify feedback, such as facial expressions or tone of voice, which may make your feedback seem impersonal or harsh. To ensure your feedback quality is enhanced when using technology, you should use specific and objective language to describe the behavior or outcome being addressed, provide examples or evidence to support your feedback, explain the impact or consequences of the behavior or outcome, offer suggestions or solutions to improve the behavior or outcome, and express appreciation for the strengths or efforts of the person. Careful balance of positive and negative feedback is key when using technology.

One thing I've learned from both receiving and bestowing both criticism and praise is the best practice is to simply be truthful. Some people all say well. Maybe it's not so productive because the truth hurts and doesn't that cause harm. I disagree with this statement. I think that if someone is doing well that that is something they will find helpful when recognized. If someone is doing poorly, it does no good to try to balance the situation out to sugarcoat something. Because at the end of the day authenticity and honesty are cornerstones of professional ethics.

4 Encouraging interaction and collaboration

Technology can be used effectively for feedback and coaching by encouraging interaction and collaboration among colleagues or employees. You can create more opportunities for feedback and coaching by asking for feedback from multiple sources, giving feedback to others, creating feedback loops, and seeking feedback on your feedback. Technology also enables you to collaborate with others on feedback and coaching, such as sharing goals or plans with others, joining online communities or groups, and accessing online resources or courses. This will help you get a more comprehensive and diverse perspective on your performance or development, learn from the experiences or perspectives of others, inform your actions or decisions with regular and consistent feedback, and improve your feedback and coaching skills.

Building habits of improving yourself study skills or something that is a prerequisite for anything like this. We are talking collaboration and technology. You can't forget about human connection. You can't forget about self-study and self-awareness. Also, it's a huge point of naivity too. Simply go into groups of like-minded people and share all of your experiences, perspectives, and ideas. Especially in any kind of professional settings. Here's a fine line between creating opportunities and stealing them from yourself.

The use of technology for feedback and coaching can be a powerful and beneficial way to enhance relationship building and performance improvement in the workplace. To ensure effective and appropriate use, it is important to evaluate and adapt practices regularly and continuously. Collecting feedback from colleagues or employees on their experience of your feedback and coaching is one way to do this. Additionally, review your feedback and coaching data to identify patterns, trends, or gaps. Comparing your practices with industry or profession standards can provide valuable insights, as can experimenting with different tools or methods of feedback and coaching. By following these tips, you can leverage technology to create more meaningful and productive feedback and coaching experiences.

This is actually a well articulated point and I agree. I have nothing to add however, in order to leverage this technology I need to use the minimum amount of characters. So thank you for your attention.
