Love the intentionality behind this!

The last thing you say not only leaves a stronger impression, but it also tends to be what drives the conversation forward from there.

However, in my experience, the negative bit is often what demands further discussion ("the presentation is great" can stand alone; "there are a few issues" warrants follow-up).

How do you employ a strategy like this without white washing the discussion and never addressing the negative thing? I often end up with my report walking away positive, but then they don't make the changes I need them to make. Or I end up doubling back to the negative again, and I sound like a harpy.
