I always think that another thing worth thinking about is “does my comment read the same way as it sounds in my head?”. In other words, a comment where you can hear and see the comment being said – maybe with a smile – sometimes sounds quite different when just written down.

Perfectly and absolutely spot on. A little bit of praise goes a long way but a little bit of criticism can be devastating. In another life I went by the mantra “you need to put money in the bank to take it out of “- in other words, before you criticise, you need to have first shown respect, and quite a lot of it!
