- Commenting without commitment: someone who neither participates nor contributes is definitely not authorized to share opinions and claim them credible;<\/li>\n
- Biased opinions based not on objective reasoning but own strong beliefs (\u201cJust Because\u201d) and personal experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n\n\nWhy is feedback important<\/strong>? <\/p>\n
For me it gives benefits for both sides. Initially negative feedback points out a room for improvement, whereas when feedback turns positive that\u2019s extremely motivating! In my case a few good words about my work always make a huge difference. <\/p>\n\n\n
\n\n\nAdvantages of giving feedback:<\/p>\n

- Motivating; <\/li>\n
- Showing a perspective of people we interact with;<\/li>\n
- Giving a space to develop ourselves and our relations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nOf course these advantages are in place when feedback is said in a good way. How to give good feedback? I will focus on it in the next article. Stay curious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\nI am aware of the benefits of giving feedback but still it’s hard for me to give it. Why?\u00a0 I think that it depends on the situation and the personalities involved.\u00a0 However, the major reasons can be:<\/p>\n\n\n

- The fear of reaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It is normal to care about relationships. However, not saying our opinion does not protect us against judgments and lack of acceptance. So, we have nothing to lose.<\/p>\n\n\n

- The necessity of preparation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In order to give good feedback we need to prepare for it. No preparation – no goal achieved, or, even worse, the wrong goal achieved. If you prepare too much and too long the context might change and feedback won\u2019t be needed any more.<\/p>\n\n\n

- Lots of requirements to fulfil in order to give good feedback.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Preparation needs time and commitment. If giving feedback is not your prioritate this factors will probably make it hard to give.<\/p>\n\n\n

The internal critic does not let us appreciate our own little insights;<\/p>\n\n\n

- Feeling vulnerable while referring to your own experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
However, this is the only way to be perceived as honest people. If you are not open while giving feedback, why should people trust you?<\/p>\n\n\n
\n\n\nWhen I\u2019m looking at this list I can say that most of the points make giving feedback hard for me. Especially the point about fear – it makes me depreciate my positive thoughts about others quite often. And what about You?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
We often hear that feedback is very important, don\u2019t we? We have two major words in that quote: \u201cfeedback\u201d and \u201cimportant\u201d. Let\u2019s start with the first one: A receiver of the feedback perceives it as an energy transfer which can be positive or negative. In spite of the negative energy which feedback might contain, it … <\/p>\n
