Jeannette discusses the essential skills of receiving and giving feedback, emphasising its importance in personal and professional growth. She offers twelve practical tips—six for effectively receiving feedback and six for delivering it constructively. Listeners are encouraged to actively listen, process feedback, and take actionable steps to improve, while also learning how to prepare, choose the right environment, and support others when giving feedback

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Receiving and giving feedback is a valuable process that can enhance personal and professional growth, even if it feels uncomfortable at times.

• Six Steps to Receive Feedback:

  • Listen: Absorb what is being said without jumping to defensiveness.
  • Process: Reflect on the feedback and identify any recurring themes.
  • Take Action: Decide how to respond to the feedback constructively.
  • Review Progress: Monitor changes and improvements based on the feedback.
  • Seek Follow-Up Feedback: Proactively ask for additional feedback to gauge progress.
  • Continuous Refinement: Engage in ongoing personal development based on the feedback received.
  • Prepare thoroughly before giving feedback, considering the desired outcome and the context in which the feedback will be delivered.
  • Ensure that feedback is given in a quiet, distraction-free setting where the recipient can focus and respond appropriately.
  • After giving feedback, check in with the individual to see how they are processing it and offer support as needed, fostering a constructive dialogue

BEST MOMENTS

"Feedback is the breakfast of champions and it should be received in silence."

"When you have a more of a maturity about receiving and giving feedback, it can honestly be super valuable in terms of how you come across."

"The great thing about feedback is you decide what to do with it."

"Don't assume a response. You don't know how the person will respond to what you have to say and you may get some surprises."

"We want to help. We're giving feedback because we care both about ourselves, but about the other person."

This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.
