Feedback That Doesn’t Land

You think you’re sharing feedback.

What folks hear is different:

‘Feedback + Insecurities’ results in your feedback not quite being heard over the sound of, “I hope everything is okay.” The volume of the insecurity determines how much feedback lands.

‘Feedback + Ego’ results in your feedback not quite being heard over the sound of, “But I’m right and there’s an external explanation for this.” The volume of the ego determines how much feedback lands.

We get to make things better by giving feedback that recognises these competing noises.

We get to make things better by turning those noises down in ourselves, so we receive feedback better.

What’s your volume set to?
