How can feedback help you grow your confidence?

feedback, It's not just about pointing out what went well or needs improvement; it's a confidence booster if you know how to handle it. Here's the lowdown: 1?? Why Feedback Matters: It's not about criticism; it's about growth. Feedback shows you what's working, what can be better, and fuels your journey to improvement. 2?? How to Seek Feedback: Don't wait for it to come to you. Ask for it! Seek input from colleagues, mentors, or friends. You'll be surprised at how willing people are to share their thoughts. 3?? How to Receive Feedback: No need for armor; feedback is here to help, not harm. Be open, listen, and resist the urge to get defensive. It's a two-way street

O feedback é valioso para a nossa vida, desde que venha sempre acompanhado de situa??es e exemplos concretos de onde e como estamos acertando ou errando em uma determinada situa??o. Digo isso, pois é muito mais fácil corrigir o caminho através do exemplo, da mesma forma para manter a dire??o escolhida. O feedback "clareia" nossos pontos obscuros além de refor?ar as nossas fortalezas.

In my experience, many people ask for feedback, but not everyone is ready to actually accept it. If you’re requesting feedback, make sure you are prepared to hear not only about the great things, but also, and perhaps more importantly- areas of opportunity. It is those areas of opportunity that would really help to develop your skills and prepare you for what’s next. Constructive feedback is meant to highlight areas where you have the biggest chance to improve, it is not an attack on your skill set. Make sure to structure your request for feedback accordingly.

Feedback is a gift that costs the giver time and energy. Consider helping others in providing you feedback by: 1) Ask for feedback before a situation or task. If you are giving a presentation ask a specific feedback question prior to the event. This helps the feedback provider listen for and give actionable and specific advice. 2) Share your self evaluation feedback thoughts prior to asking for another's feedback. This helps the feedback provider narrow in on an area of focus and improve upon your self reflection. 3) Share a goal you are working on and state why the feedback provider's efforts in giving feedback are valuable to you.

I love constructive feedback, as it allows me to reflect inward, take action and grow. Without knowing what needs to improve, we may be focusing our attention on areas we already excel at, rather than those that need to be worked on. Remember that constructive feedback isn’t an Ad Hominem attack, it is another persons view and it is meant to help you grow.
