Course 2: Becoming a 7 Cups Leader - (Discussion #6) How to Accept Feedback

Think about the most recent feedback you received: How did you react? I reacted in a happy way. How did you feel? I felt happy. Why do you think you reacted and feel that way? I reacted happily, and calmly because it came from a place of love and kindness. What would you do differently after having watched the video? Nothing. As long as feedback comes across as kind and helping you grow then that's good. However, if the feedback is rude or tearing your character down then that's a different story.

I think I handle feedback well :o

Think about the most recent feedback you received: How did you react? I reacted by saying "okay" and then proceeding to ask more questions.

How did you feel? Honestly- slightly embarrassed, but glad they felt comfortable pointing out my mistake. Curious and willing to fix it.

Why do you think you reacted and feel that way? I'm still learning how to accept feedback

What would you do differently after having watched the video? Keep trying :p

Why do you think you reacted and feel that way?

It was really unexpected.

What would you do differently after having watched the video?

Take it as a way to help me grow. The feedback might give me a bad feeling at the time, but it will only help me more in the future.

@Heather225

Think about the most recent feedback you received.

Q: How did you react?

A: I was listening to what they were saying and I asked how I could better this.

Q: How did you feel?

A: I honestly was quite happy that I got feedback, because that gave me the chance to better that and that I won’t repeat the same mistake again.

Q: Why do you think you reacted and feel that way?

A: Because I could better myself in this and that I could and can make improvement.

Q: What would you do differently after having watched the video?

A: It depends, in personal cases I could make some improvements but in cases of for example 7 cups I wouldn’t do much different for now as I listen to the feedback and try to improve on it.

@Heather225

How did you react?

I felt surprised but I listened to what they wanted to say.

How did you feel?

Surprise

Why do you think you reacted and feel that way?

I didn't know that it could be perceived the way in which they have described

What would you do differently after having watched the video?

I would try to be mindful of my emotions and focus on what they're trying to tell, rather than the way or tone that they're saying. Instead of absorbing eveything, I'll try to filter the feedback to learn and not to be hard on myself

@Heather225

Think about the most recent feedback you received: How did you react?

It was a positive feedback, therefore, my reaction was pleasant.

How did you feel?

I felt appreciated. I felt like i really do make a difference and there is no greater feeling than that.

Why do you think you reacted and feel that way?

Because it made me feel appreciated. It acknowledged my efforts that is why my reaction was positive. I was grateful.

What would you do differently after having watched the video?

To be honest, i don't think i would hava done anything differently.

@Heather225

Think about the most recent feedback you received:

How did you react?

I was surprised, but tried to process what I was told instead of reacting negatively.

How did you feel?

I felt like it wasn't true, but maybe it's something they felt, which is why they brought it up, so I didn't dismiss it.

Why do you think you reacted and feel that way?

Because I don't see myself that way.

What would you do differently after having watched the video?

Not take negative feedback as a personal attack, but use it for self-improvement.

@Heather225

Getting feedback is something everyone gets, regardless of being a leader. Leaders get the most feedback. And It is a learning experience if you accept it as such. Everyone has room for growth and thats all feedback is, a suggestion for improvement.

- I was very receptive and grateful during my most recent feedback. It made me feel supported more than criticized because I understand that the overall focus of the feedback was to help me improve and prevent burnout as well. I really enjoyed the video, I saved it to revisit in the future :)

The most recent feedback was also the one that I'm thankful for. I wish I could tag them but I do hope they know that they're valued!

When I received the feedback, I went into a negative wheel and was deeply impacted and even went on to the lengths of choosing to stop being a listener all together.

I know why I reacted that way. I'm a sensitive person and as someone who is always on the winning side, my brain wired this community as a competitive ground rather than a compassionate society.

I wish I'd watched it earlier. I'd certainly have talked to them a lot and tried to take some notes on how to actually improve.
