Study text
Pay attention to your own emotions: Once you listen to yourself you will be better prepared to listen to the others. Six basic emotions like sadness, happiness, fear, anger, surprise, and disgust are universal and we all have experienced them. By knowing what the signs of these emotions are and how to control them you will not only be able to respond accordingly (read “honestly”) but also know what the intern’s needs are and how to respond to them.
Build a trust within the team. It is easier to share the feedback. Everyone likes a compliment but when using compliments try to be specific. Tell people that they were great in that task or their presentation was thrilling. Of course, sometimes it is easier said than done, especially for shy people or with the thoughts like “what if the person thinks I’m weird?”. In that case start small and it would be easier to give a general (non-specific) feedback or a compliment.
