The Gift of Feedback

Feedback is one of the most powerful tools for personal growth, yet it is also one of the hardest for me to ask for.

When I receive complimentary feedback, it gives me a warm glow inside. Conversely, non-complimentary feedback is sometimes difficult for me to absorb. Shame, guilt, and other past experiences have caused me to bristle at any feedback that makes me look bad.

But I have a new view of feedback because I now see myself as confident and worthy.

Inviting honest feedback gives me a unique opportunity to see myself as others see me. That perspective can be eye-opening. Even after all my self-improvement work, I still have blind spots and ways I show up, react or communicate that I don’t notice. Feedback shines a light on those blind spots. It helps me uncover what I don’t know I don’t know about myself.

That kind of awareness is priceless. Once I become aware, I can choose to change. I can shift habits, attitudes, or behaviors that may hold me back. I can make intentional choices that lead to a stronger, wiser, more grounded version of myself.

Feedback isn’t always easy for me to hear. It can trigger discomfort. When I hear something unfavorable about myself, my first impulse might be to deny, rationalize, or minimize it. “That’s not me.” “They misunderstood.” “It’s not that big a deal.” Those are natural defenses. But I miss the insights that could help me grow if I cling to them.

Choosing not to ask for feedback is choosing to stay in the dark. Without it, I can’t fully see how I impact others, uncover the unconscious habits shaping my results, and discover the small but powerful changes that can lead to my next breakthrough.

Feedback isn’t an attack; it’s a gift.

The path to a better me starts with knowing more about me. Feedback opens that door.

Is feedback your friend?

Watch for the blind spots.
