Feedback needs to be immediate for it to be effective
- Don't let time pass before you address the situation
- Feedback should be from the heart and given with the intention of growth, not of selfishness.
Consider the intent of the person giving the feedback
- Are they invested in your personal growth or is there a hidden agenda
- Feedback is an opinion
- When giving feedback, make sure you know where you stand in the relationship. Is trust already established?
How should we process feedback?
- Give it 24 hours to let it process
- Use wisdom to discern especially if this is the first time you have heard it
- You typically know deep down if the feedback is spot on. What are you going to do about it?
- Your not perfect so don't let the feedback bring you down, grow from it.
- If you truly learned something from the feedback, make the effort to thank the one giving it.
