These days, the concept of feedback is akin to that of a song overplayed on the radio: initially intriguing but ultimately dismissed as cliche. In reality, good feedback is more like a dance; it requires two partners ready to engage in meaningful discourse. So what’s preventing us from participating in the dance and not just listening to the overplayed song? By and large, we don’t know how to properly give it, receive it, or ask for it.

Today we are going to unpack what lies at the root of our issues with feedback and offer some practical strategies to overcome these challenges. In particular:

  Intrinsic feedback, augmented feedback, formative feedback… Where do I even begin?

  How to maximize FIT between the person, the performance, and the persuasive appeal.

  
  
  
•

• 
  

  The worst thing you can do when asking for feedback
