Today’s Mini-Challenge: Your Feedback Game Plan

Step 1: Pick Your Feedback Circle
Identify someone you trust—a friend, mentor, or colleague—and ask for their honest perspective on one area you’re looking to improve.

Step 2: Ask with Intention
Frame your request clearly: “I want to get better at ____. Could you share your thoughts on how I’m doing?”

Step 3: Listen Without Defensiveness
When receiving feedback, pause before responding. Focus on understanding their perspective, not defending your actions.

Step 4: Take Action
Reflect on what you’ve learned and choose one actionable step to implement. Even small changes can make a big difference.

Story Time: From Blind Spots to Brilliance

Meet Jamie. Jamie was stuck in a career plateau, unsure why they weren’t progressing. A trusted mentor offered candid feedback: Jamie excelled technically but struggled with collaboration.

At first, Jamie felt defensive. But after reflecting, they embraced the advice. Jamie started seeking regular feedback from teammates, practicing active listening, and prioritizing teamwork. Within months, Jamie not only gained confidence but also became a respected leader known for uplifting others.

Jamie’s story shows that feedback isn’t criticism—it’s a map to growth.

The Science of Feedback

Feedback Rewires Your Brain
Constructive feedback activates neural pathways associated with learning and memory, making you more adaptable and resilient.

Emotion Matters
Positive reinforcement boosts dopamine, motivating you to keep improving. Constructive criticism, when framed well, sparks critical thinking and problem-solving.

Quick Feedback Hacks

• Start Small: Ask for feedback on a specific task or behavior to keep it manageable.

• Express Gratitude: Acknowledge the effort someone took to give feedback—it encourages openness.

• Be a Feedback Giver: Offer balanced insights to others, mixing praise with actionable suggestions.
