The gift of feel back

Good feedback is such a gift. You can get an external perspective on how you are doing stuff that you may not notice about yourself.

But ONE THING that is also helpful in our shared reflections with others is Feelback.

Having someone share

- how they observed us light up doing something or when we are engaging with someone

- how our energy was low and we seemed a bit drained

- noticing that we seemed in 'flow' or positive or excited or sad or restrained or frustrated or angry

Not shared in a 'you don't look well today' manner - that's never helpful.

By checking that your perceptions of how the other person is feeling, you give them the opportunity to check-in as well. It can be enlightening.

So, do you give good Feelback?
