I came upon this short video by Erin Perry the other day that made me think a bit about how I’ve been giving feedback.
To be honest, I think I have some more growing to do. She categorized feedback into two types—
How to do what you do better feedback
Seeing you
Seeing your energy
Yes, and
You’re not broken
Empowering
Inclusive
Versus…
That’s not how I would do it feedback
Undermining their voice
You are wrong
You don’t belong
Incites a defensive response
Exclusive
Disempowering
You might want to watch it and consider fine-tuning your own feedback giving habits.
Thank you, Erin!
Stay agile my friends,
Bob.
