Balancing positive and constructive criticism involves recognizing and affirming good performance while also addressing areas that need improvement. Using the "sandwich method" can be effective: start with a positive comment, followed by constructive criticism, and end with another positive remark.

Overall, your empathy and communication skills are very strong."
