Give feedback that changes what happens next.

Name a specific behavior, say what it affected, and give the one change you want next. The formula is the easy part; the hard part is catching yourself when you go vague to be kind, or turn a specific problem into a verdict on the person. Naomi reviews your recorded feedback conversations and scores how specific you were, whether you named a behavior or a character trait, and whether you ended with a clear next step, then hands you one change for the next one.

Constructive feedback is feedback that gives the other person something they can act on: a specific behavior, its impact, and a clear next step, delivered so they can hear it instead of defend against it. It is the opposite of both vague praise and a personal verdict. Naomi grades your real conversations against that standard rather than a generic idea of “nice.”

Defensiveness is usually a sign the feedback pointed at the person instead of the behavior. “You’re careless” invites a defense; “these three numbers were off” invites a fix. Naomi catches the moments your wording turned a specific note into a character judgment, which is the most common reason feedback gets waved away.

Rarely. Wrapping a change between two compliments protects the giver and buries the point, so the receiver keeps the praise and misses the note. Real praise and a real change are both worth saying, just not blended into mush. Naomi flags the calls where the one thing that mattered got padded until it disappeared.

Keep it about a fixable behavior, be specific about impact, and make the next step small and clear. Feedback demotivates when it feels like a verdict on the person or a list too long to act on. Naomi shows you whether your feedback pointed at something changeable and ended somewhere concrete, or just left the person feeling judged.

Criticism tells someone what was wrong; feedback tells them what to do next. The words can sound similar, so the difference lives in whether there is a specific, doable change on the other side of it. Naomi scores whether your feedback actually gave a path forward or just registered a complaint.

Close to the moment, and small, beats saving it for a quarterly review. Feedback stored up for months arrives as a list nobody can act on and often as a surprise. Naomi tracks your feedback across conversations so you can see whether you are coaching in the moment or letting it pile up for review day.

Yes. Naomi assesses your recorded feedback conversations and coaches you on how you delivered them: whether you were specific, named a behavior instead of a person, and ended with a next step. To be clear about what it is not: Naomi does not give the feedback for you or sit in the room. It makes the person giving it better, one conversation at a time.

Yes. Naomi works with your recorded Zoom conversations: you connect Zoom, and Naomi assesses each one and returns coaching afterward. No bot joins the meeting; the analysis happens privately on the recording, for you. It works the same for a 1:1, a performance review, or a project debrief.

Those tools collect and route feedback between people; they are built for HR and managers to run a process. Naomi is private coaching for the person who has to deliver the feedback well. It grades your own delivery against a research-backed communication model and gives you one change to make next, and nobody else sees it.

No. Your coaching is private to you. It is built to make you better at giving feedback, not to grade you for someone above you. You see your own trends and recommendations; nobody else does.

Yes. Giving good feedback is a set of repeatable habits: be specific, aim at the behavior, and end with a next step. What is usually missing is anyone telling you how your feedback actually came across, because the person receiving it is in no position to. Naomi gives you that honest read.
