Be Mindful with Feedback
When it comes to feedback, we get what we ask for.
And feedback is like fuel. But you can’t put diesel gas into your Mazda and expect a long, smooth roadtrip. It’ll burn out.
Similarly, switching to a 100% chocolate diet is unlikely to contribute to your peak performance—unfortunately. You will burn out.
Asking for critical and constructive feedback has a place. But I’m going to suggest that you might benefit greatly by asking for specific and positive feedback.
Check out today’s video to watch me lead a closing exercise with a group of university staff and faculty at the end of a virtual workshop where I put this idea into practice.
In the comments of this video, I’d love to hear how you might put this idea into practice this week! See what I did there? 😉
