Sometimes you may not have time to fully talk through feedback with a direct report in the moment. Use it as an opportunity to help them take ownership, and commit to supporting them. For example, if an employee gave a presentation that didn’t go well because their slides were too wordy, let them know right after, “That could have gone better - the group seemed to be more focused on reading than focusing on you. But why don’t you talk to others on the team or research ways to make presentations more engaging and re-work a couple slides, and we can go through them in our next 1:1?” This let’s them figure out how to tackle it, while reconvening with you to ensure they’re on the right track.
