Does giving clear and direct feedback at home, church, or work make you feel uncomfortable or nervous? Girls and women are often socialized to be less direct in giving feedback, and I have found that women in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can sometimes be ineffective in giving feedback in an effort to be more warm, kind, or compassionate. However, feedback is critical in helping others begin, stop, or continue certain behaviors, and learning to give effective feedback is an important skill. On this week’s episode, I share common mistakes made when giving feedback and explain the research on how to give more effective feedback in your personal relationships, in the workplace, at church, and beyond.
Challenge:
Practice the SBI Feedback Model! Give specific, situational feedback about behaviors, indicating how the behavior impacts you. Practice this skill by giving using this model to give positive feedback to your loved ones.
