Feedback

Feedback comes in many forms.

Sometimes we might request it.

Other times, it might be an unsolicited offer.

We might find ourselves providing feedback.

Every time, it is a gift.

Even those times when it's hard to receive in the moment. Or the times we feel challenged to provide what we want to share.

Whether the feedback is positive or constructive, we can always learn from it. That's the gift.

Feedback may indicate that someone (maybe you!) is paying attention and cares.

In cases when no feedback exists, when someone remains quiet, they might not care and you may have already "lost" them or the relationship.

How do you perceive feedback?

Do you rush toward it with open arms?

Or do you hide and hope it doesn't find you?

Do you eagerly look for opportunities to share or do you avoid it altogether, even when positive?

Perhaps you find yourself somewhere in the middle.

Wherever you land on this spectrum, we receive and provide value when we and others share an assessment or observation.

Feedback is a mechanism for us to learn what others are thinking or share what we are thinking. A way to obtain or share an understanding of another's perspective. An approach to convey appreciation.

How do you perceive feedback?

Create your life.

I want to express my gratitude (feedback!) to Bill for the topic inspiration and Andy for a conversation which was loaded with feedback for me.
