constructive feedback

In this episode, Cindy Esliger talks about the pivotal role feedback plays in professional growth. However, while constructive feedback is important, it’s equally important to learn how to navigate the critiques and understand who is offering the feedback. Not everyone will have our best interests at heart, so how can we learn to be more self-reliant and critical in assessing feedback?  

The mutual exchange of constructive feedback is key to innovation and collaboration in the workplace. It lays the groundwork for growth and success. The challenge lies in distinguishing between well-intentioned feedback and feedback that has ulterior motives behind it. Cindy discusses the importance of trusting our instincts and learning not to constantly need external validation to make our decisions.

When we receive unwarranted negative criticism, it’s key not to internalize that negativity. Cindy shares five tips for navigating harmful criticism: 1. Pause and reflect, 2. Seek clarification, 3. Focus on the constructive elements, 4. Engage trusted advisors, and 5. Learn to disregard. She elaborates on how to put these tips into action and discusses how to develop a strong positive self-image, one that bolsters confidence. Learn how to seek and respond to the right feedback with Cindy.

In today's episode of Navigate the Day, we delve into the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic philosopher and Roman Emperor, as we explore the profound idea that "It's Not On Them, It's On You." Drawing from his timeless work "Meditations," we uncover the Stoic approach to handling mistakes or shortcomings in others and the powerful impact it can have on our relationships and personal growth.

Marcus Aurelius encourages us to adopt a measured and constructive response when others slip up. Rather than assigning blame or being critical, he suggests a kind correction and a focus on personal reflection. Today's journal prompt invites us to explore what might be bothering us that we haven't spoken up about. As we reflect on instances where we've kept quiet, we uncover the potential for resentment and damaged relationships that arise from unspoken grievances.

A personal story unfolds as we explore the consequences of staying silent in moments of discomfort. The realization hits that harboring bitter feelings only fosters resentment, leading to the deterioration of connections. The story takes a poignant turn as we witness the cost of not expressing vulnerabilities and insecurities in a friendship, underscoring the importance of open communication and giving others a fair chance.

This journey of self-discovery brings to light the fear of being disliked or rejected that often hinders honest communication. We acknowledge the impact of such fears on mental well-being and relationships. The episode navigates through the complexities of expressing oneself authentically, emphasizing the role of vulnerability in building genuine connections.

The exploration doesn't stop there. The episode guides us toward healthier communication techniques and seeking support when needed. It emphasizes the necessity of embracing vulnerability to enhance personal well-being and strengthen relationships. In the face of challenging situations with no one to blame, the Stoic perspective encourages acceptance and learning, fostering personal growth and a more peaceful mindset.

Tune in to this empowering episode as we unravel the profound Stoic wisdom that places the responsibility on us for fostering understanding, promoting open dialogue, and cultivating a mindset of acceptance and growth. It's a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and the transformative power of embracing vulnerability.

Thank you for listening and joining me on my journey of self-discovery!

Welcome to another insightful episode of "From Passion to Profit." I'm Nichola Page, your host. In today's episode, I'll guide you through the transformative power of having a growth mindset for small business success. We'll explore what it means, why it's so important and how you can actively develop it.

I'll be highlighting the types of thoughts someone might have and the language they would use, depending upon whether they have a growth or fixed mindset.

I'll also outline practical strategies to help you foster and sustain a growth-oriented perspective.  One thing is for sure, whether you succeed or fail in business, your mindset has a huge part to play.  As Henry Ford famously said 'whether you think you can, or thing you can't, you're right'.

Key Takeaways:

• Growth vs. Fixed Mindset: It's crucial to recognise the distinction between a growth mindset, which believes in development through effort, and a fixed mindset, which attributes abilities to inherent nature.
• Embrace Challenges: View setbacks and challenges as opportunities for learning and growth, rather than inadequacy or failure.
• Positive Self-Talk: Be intentional with positive self-talk. Reframe negative thoughts to incorporate a growth-oriented perspective, even if it means adding a "yet" to statements.
• Feedback is Valuable: Receive constructive feedback as a valuable tool for improvement rather than criticism.
• Effort Over Outcome: Focus on the efforts and experiences gained, viewing failures as feedback and experiences that contribute to your growth journey.

We've all been there when we've received criticism and felt badly about it. Maybe the feedback made us question our work, our worth, our very path in life. If we allow it to, this feedback can derail us. But the key in this is 'if we allow it to'. We have the control to take this feedback in any way we choose.  Sometimes feedback can be a tough pill to swallow,  but it can actually benefit us if we open up to it and find the helpful parts.

In this episode, Ann Roberts - award-winning author, executive director of the Golden Crown Literary Society, and former educator - and I talk through ways we can benefit from feedback.

In “How to Give Performance Feedback to Team Members” I share how to tackle giving really useful feedback – positive and negative - to others on their performance that they will appreciate and that will help them improve what they do.

 Giving performance feedback to employees can be hard to do. If feedback is negative, we are worried about offending the other person, creating resentment, ruining relationships, and making our own lives harder at work. When we are giving positive feedback, how to we make the feedback useful further improve performance or behaviours.

 Giving feedback and constructive feedback is essential to help our colleagues and team members improve what they do. It is also essential for managers and leaders to receive employee feedback to help them improve their performance too. 

 Practicing giving feedback will improve how you deliver feedback. Start with giving positive feedback. Don’t just say “you have done a good job”, practice breaking down why they have done a good job and be specific in your feedback so that the other person understand exactly why you are giving positive feedback. 

 When you are more confident giving positive feedback, you will feel more confident having the more difficult conversations at work. No-one enjoys these conversations no matter how experienced they are, yet if you want performance to improve, you need to provide a balance of positive feedback and negative feedback. 

 With practice you learn how to give feedback and increase your confidence in doing so. I think you should always approach giving feedback with the other person’s development at heart and be honest with your feedback. 

 And lastly, research has shown that to keep an team member happy, you need to give positive feedback three times as much as negative feedback.

 “How to Give Performance Feedback to Team Members” is written to help managers giving feedback to employees and can be used by anyone to improve the feedback that they give.

#140: I didn't hold back. I shared very direct constructive feedback with a leader I met with during a visit to one of the companies I consult recently. In this episode I share the email I received afterwards and get into how I deliver constructive feedback.

Welcome to the 10th episode of the Jason Joyce Podcast. 
Join me as I discuss a lesson Michael Jordan learned in his early years that thought him to think like a champion before he became one. I'm going to ask you to answer one question to see if your inner game works for you or against you. I also share 3 key ingredients to How Champions Think. 

Welcome to the 9th episode of the Jason Joyce Podcast. Join me as I discuss how to focus your energy on success, the importance of failing, and how criticism when used well is essential for your growth & development in health & happiness. 

When it comes to giving feedback, it's not just a monologue; it's a two-way street. If you're stepping up to offer someone feedback, you've got to be all in—offering solutions and lending an ear, ready to hear their side of the story.

In today's episode, we're cracking the code on "How to Effectively Grow Your People Through Feedback." But guess what? There's a secret ingredient in the mix—it's all about that mindset. I'm a firm believer that success is a whopping 80% mindset.

What you think comes out in your actions, words, and demeanor which is very important to remember when giving feedback. Ever noticed how words might say one thing, but body language does its own thing? It sends mixed messages, and your feedback isn't received well, if at all.

Head over to the show notes for my FREE guide The 5 Simple Steps to Giving Feedback That Creates Results.
