Feedback

​Blog Challenge "100 posts in 100 days" Post #56


Do you solicit feedback from your co-workers, friends, or family? How do you ask for feedback? If you get offered feedback you didn't ask for, how do you take it? 

I've spent the last year or so working to improve my ability to build trust in relationships for a variety of reasons, and one of those reasons is so that others are comfortable enough to give me feedback especially when the feedback outlines weaknesses or areas for improvement. 

I recently sent out an anonymous survey asking for 1 to 2 things that I could focus on improving for my individual development plan and boy let me tell you. I got some feedback! 

At first glance, I felt my defenses going up, but it only took me a little while (and one kickass pep talk) to be open-minded and try to turn the feedback into actional objectives. 

I plan to share my experience via a video series. I'm just getting it planned out and ready to go so stay tuned. It's coming. 

I hope everyone has a fantastic week!
