How can you use feedback as a tool for growth mindset and resilience?

La mentalidad de crecimiento es la creencia de que tus habilidades y talentos pueden desarrollarse con esfuerzo, aprendizaje y persistencia. En lugar de pensar que tus capacidades están fijas, reconoces que puedes mejorar y crecer con el tiempo. La resiliencia, por otro lado, es tu capacidad para recuperarte de los desafíos, fracasos o dificultades. Es la habilidad de no solo soportar la adversidad, sino de aprender de ella y salir más fuerte.

Setbacks can be our gifts in disguise when we are willing to stop, look, and listen to all the clues surrounding us. Often the roadblock will set us on a new path that is more direct with more significant opportunities ahead. Similarly, there is gold in the negativity directed at us when we are willing to be attentive. Generally, it is due to people feeling they will lose control if you proceed. Use the negativity as your motivating force to move forward with everything you have. Heed the 3 P's to achieve your desired success: Passion, Purpose, and Perseverance.

I love this inquiry. I love it partly because it’s so tricky. We have to know who we are and stay true to who we are and be very resistant to casual feedback that is not coming from a place that is really helpful. On the other hand how do we embrace feedback? I, myself, have adopted a meditation practice over many years that helps me stay centered in some clear idea of who I am as mysterious as that may be. I feel my way into reacting to feedback. I absorb it and use it, or I step over it for the moment. Not much of a clear answer I know but it’s the best I can say at the moment to this great question

Our growth from receiving feedback comes in two parts: allowing our response to it, and then deciding how or whether to act on it. Here's a skill to practice for the first part. Notice and allow any uncomfortable feelings you're having -- and even "good" feelings may be uncomfortable when our habitual internal dialogue is critical. Name them -- here's a simple tool: When I receive feedback like this "______________," I feel _______________ because I'm thinking that ________________. Describe the feelings coming from your thoughts about it. Our growth comes first from acknowledging what we think and feel and what we make it mean about our skills, abilities and performance. Then, growth continues as we act on what we want to change.

Para cultivar una mentalidad de crecimiento, es esencial cambiar la forma en que abordamos los desafíos y los errores. En lugar de evitar lo que es difícil o incómodo, busca oportunidades para aprender y mejorar. Recuérdate constantemente que el esfuerzo es un camino hacia el dominio y que cada obstáculo es una oportunidad para crecer. Puedes hacer un autodiálogo positivo: cuando te enfrentas a una tarea difícil, en lugar de decirte "No soy bueno en esto", cambialo a "Estoy aprendiendo y mejorando en esto cada día."

To leverage feedback as a tool for growth mindset and resilience, cultivate a growth mindset within yourself. Reframe feedback from a measure of worth or competence to a valuable source of guidance and support. Understand that feedback isn’t personal; it reflects performance or behavior in specific situations. Embrace challenges and mistakes as learning opportunities, actively seek feedback from diverse and credible sources, and celebrate progress while acknowledging areas for improvement. Maintain a curious, open-minded attitude toward feedback, and be willing to experiment with new ideas and approaches.

When providing effective feedback, the SBI model (Situation-Behavior-Impact) is a valuable framework. First, describe the Situation in which the behavior occurred, avoiding generalities. For instance, “This morning at the 11 am team meeting…” Next, focus on the Behavior, describing the specific, observable actions. Finally, explain the Impact that the behavior had on you, the team, or the organization. Remember to avoid personal labels or assumptions, and balance positive and negative feedback. By following this approach, you’ll foster growth and improvement while maintaining respect and empathy.

Cuando das unaretroalimentación, enfócate en ser específico y constructivo. La retroalimentación debe centrarse en el comportamiento y las acciones, nunca en la persona. Por ejemplo, en lugar de decir "No estás haciendo un buen trabajo", puedes decir "He notado que en los últimos proyectos, los plazos no se han cumplido. ?Qué podemos hacer para mejorar esto?"

Recibir retroalimentación de una buena forma no es fácil, puede ser desafiante, especialmente cuando se toca puntos sensibles. Sin embargo, es una oportunidad invaluable para nuestro crecimiento. Cuando recibas comentarios: 1. Escucha activamente: Deja que la persona termine sin interrumpir. Enfócate en entender, no en defenderte. 2. Haz preguntas aclaratorias: Si algo no está claro, pide ejemplos o detalles para que puedas aplicar la retroalimentación de manera efectiva. 3. Mostrar gratitud, incluso cuando es difícil de escuchar, ayuda a mantener una actitud abierta y positiva.

Setting SMART goals and seeking regular feedback helped Sarah, a graphic designer, improve her design skills. John, a sales manager, used feedback to self-regulate his performance by analyzing customer reviews and adjusting his sales strategies accordingly. By utilizing feedback for self-regulation, Maria, a teacher, identified areas for improvement in her lesson plans and teaching methods. Tom, a project manager, regularly sought feedback from his team members to monitor project progress and adjust timelines as needed. Through self-regulation using feedback, Mark, a software developer, identified coding errors, enhanced the quality of his work and received positive reviews from clients.

La retroalimentación es una herramienta clave para la autorregulación. Después de recibir una retroalimentación, debemos evaluar cómo podemos integrar esa información para mejorar. Podemos preguntarnos: ?Qué puedo aprender de esta retroalimentación? ?Cómo puedo aplicar estos aprendizajes en mi próximo proyecto o interacción? ?Qué ajustes debo hacer en mi enfoque para alinearme mejor con mis objetivos?
