WHAT IS THE TSP METHOD?
TSP stands for Truthful, Specific, Positive Feedback®—a practical and transformational communication method developed by Michael. At its core, TSP helps people feel seen, heard, and valued, whether they’re employees, teammates, family, or friends.
We often offer feedback that is positive and truthful. It is the specific that makes the difference. " Positive feedback without substantiation does not make the same impact.” TSP builds trust, deepens connection, and improves performance and morale across any relationship or environment.
Why this might matter to you:

MESSAGE FROM MICHAEL ALLOSSO
“I believe our job as leaders is to nurture and feed those with whom we work. We do that with feedback that is truthful, specific, and positive. When we offer feedback that is specific, it becomes exponentially more impactful. Truthful or positive feedback without substantiation does not make the same impact. And how do you get your material to give TSP? You intentionally focus on being aware so you can catch people being excellent. You gather these moments of excellence, generosity, or growth—and then you report it back to the person who created it. I call this "Gathering Beauty." Make TSP a daily habit—and watch your impact grow." |
