They are the same thing - sorta - both are letting someone know they did something incorrectly or that they can improve something. 

And yet, they aren't the same at all. After asking Audrey Cooper, Michelle Brady-Palmer, and Brandon Mahoney what they thought, it seems the difference is intent as well as how the information is received. 

It is entirely possible for someone to think they are giving feedback but for it to be taken as criticism or even as an attack.

In this conversation I shared an example of my trying to give someone feedback and them telling me I was wrong to feel the way I did.

Listen in and then let us know what you think. How do you distinguish between feedback and criticism?
