On Feedback..

Blog Challenge "100 posts in 100 days" Post #85

I was able to formulate a SMART goal based on feedback I received from my stakeholders, thought today I would share my half-baked ideas.. 
Want to give people an opportunity to share things with me and to be heard and validated. Providing context, not just assuming that everyone is at the same place as me. Bring everyone to the same understanding.

The Goal:
Improve interactions and build better relationships with the WICT Board
Deliver verbal presentations to WICT board for monthly membership updates that are clear and concise and supported with the necessary context.

Measurement:
Listen for verbal cues of understanding, board members describe the updates as clear and concise, send feedback surveys twice a year, track the number of audience requests to clarify or rephrase something, track the number of questions/comments that suggest misunderstanding.

Activities:
Course on giving and receiving feedback
Personal Brand training - Scheduled for March 14, 2019
Participate in mentoring program(s)
Course on Interpersonal Communication
Sit in on peers leadership meetings
Review tracked data

Discuss:

• Developing membership committee. Was able to streamline that with our women's employee resource group.
• Was able to meet with all of our regions engagement team and the meeting went really well. I'm usually one of the first ones to speak up and this time I hung back and focused on really listening and to my surprise, I was pulled into the conversation and it seemed like I was received much better.
