▸ WHAT IT REVEALS

Conflict after feedback, courage, emotional intelligence.

▸ GOOD ANSWER LOOKS LIKE

Stayed calm, let them process, circled back. Didn't withdraw the feedback.

▸ RED FLAGS

Got defensive, became apologetic, or ended the conversation prematurely.

▸ FOLLOW-UP PROBE

How did the relationship evolve after that?
