#DailyAcorn MasterClass -Maximize Success with Effective Feedback Strategies! Tips on Responding to Feedback in a Productive Way. Jack Canfield'
You'll get data, you will get advice, you will get help, suggestions, directions from everywhere, and even criticism that will help you constantly adjust and move forward while continually enhancing your knowledge, enhancing your abilities, enhancing your attitudes and enhancing your relationships. But asking for feedback is really only the first part of the equation. Once you receive the feedback, you have to be willing to respond to the feedback. And that's what we're going to be talking about here today

Second, you must be grateful for the feedback. Do not get defensive. Just say thank you for caring enough to share that with me. Remember, feedback is a gift that helps you become more effective. Be grateful for it. Get your head out of your sand and ask. Ask. Then check in with yourself to see what fits for you and put the useful feedback into action. Take whatever steps are necessary to improve the situations, including changing your own behavior

Knowing in detail what will satisfy them gives you the information you need to do what is necessary to create a winning relationship, a winning product, a winning services, whatever it is you're trying to win at. Feedback is the breakfast of champions. Make it a habit to end every project meeting, every class, every training, conversation, installation with the two questions. On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate the quality of this relationship?

We were supposed to have a meeting this week and to go over my quarterly review. But he got pushed aside by other matters. It makes me feel unimportant and that you don't care about me as much as other people around here. The other thing is that I feel you're not using me enough. You're not delegating anything but the simple stuff to me. I want more responsibilities. I want you to trust me more with the important stuff. This job has become boring and uninteresting

She started asking him on a scale of one to ten, she's feeling guilty about being away from him all the time because she's a, you know, speaker. She travels all over the world. So she had been feeling guilty about being separated from him during her work. And the first time she asked him to rate their relationship, he gave her a seven. Hmm. She thought, not terrible, but it could be better

This is the right job for me. Or I'm wary. I'm emotionally drained. I don't like this as much as I thought. I don't have a good feeling about that guy. Whatever feedback you get, don't ignore the yellow alerts. Never go against your gut. If it doesn't feel right to you, it probably isn't. Is all feedback accurate? Not all feedback is useful or accurate. You must consider the source

He ended up with two divorces, kids who didn't want to speak to him, and two bankrupt businesses. But he was right. Don't you get caught in this trap. It's a dead end street. What feedback have you been receiving from your family, friends, members of the opposite sex, coworkers, bosses, partners, clients, vendors? Your body that you need to pay more attention to. Are there any patterns that stand out? Make a list next to each item. Right

Take some time to go back and review your successes. It's important to remind yourself that you have had many more successes than you have had failures. You've done many more things right than you've done wrong. Regroup. Spend some time with positive, loving friends and family members and coworkers who can reaffirm your worth and your contribution. This is important. They are there and we are here for you and we are here for this. Refocus on your vision. Incorporate the lessons learned
