Feedback Thoughts

I read the articles “5 Tips for Taking Feedback Like a Champ,” by Megan Bruneau and “Silence the Critical Voices in Your Head,” by Sabina Nawaz. I thought both of these articles were very insightful and gave some really good points on how to use feedback to your advantage. Personally, I think feedback is vital for one to improve. I like tip number 2 from the article by Megan Bruneau, which talks about how it is good if you have room for improvement because this means you have the potential to get better and grow. Further, for most people you are your toughest critic. So, its really important to keep a positive mindset when you here or give feedback. Lastly, I think giving feedback is most effective when it is done in a positive and constructive way. For example, if you were giving feedback on a paper and you didn’t like how the introduction was constructed its not helpful to just right BAD in red next to the paragraph. Instead, if you give them an example of how the introduction could read more smoothly that would be much more beneficial to the writer. Also, I think its important to also comment on what people are doing right and give them praise for that as well.

The potential for growth is endless.
