If you want to continuously improve, you have to seek honest feedback and then take it to heart. If you consider yourself stubborn or stuck in your ways, you're not alone. But, you must accept that what worked for you 2, 5, or 10 years ago might need some tweaking. Embrace a growth mindset and be open to change, as this will demonstrate your commitment to excellence. It will further solidify your credibility. I challenge you today to seek out honest feedback from some trusted sources. Maybe even share this message with them and ask if they'd be willing to give you some opinions.

Embrace Growth: The Power of Honest Feedback True growth begins with a willingness to hear the truth, even when it is uncomfortable. Are you ready to step into your potential by embracing honest feedback? "Authentic growth stems from the courage to seek and accept honest feedback.

How often do we truly embrace feedback? Find out if this is you. Have you ever found yourself stuck in a loop, questioning why you're not advancing from your current situation? I've been there too (many times in fact!) Several years ago, I embarked on a self-development journey. It was during this time that I truly grasped the essence of feedback and its transformative power. We humans are creatures of habit. We hold a belief, act upon it, witness the results, and then process the feedback. This feedback either reinforces our belief or challenges it. Yet, many of us overlook a crucial step. If we don't achieve the desired outcome, it's an indication that we might need to reevaluate and adjust our beliefs. This, in turn, will guide us to take alternative actions leading to different outcomes. We've all heard the adage, "Doing the same thing and expecting different results is insanity." Yet, it's startling how often we fall prey to this cycle. The whirlwind of life can be overwhelming. My own journey has taught me that to truly evolve, we must remain conscious of our beliefs. More importantly, we must be willing to adapt them when they no longer serve our greater purpose. One strategy I've adopted is crafting a "Future Manifesto." This isn't about leaving things to fate. Instead, I revisit this manifesto daily, ensuring I remain aligned with my goals and the path I've set for myself, whether in business, personal life, or relationships. Not easy to do it everyday, but I try nevertheless. So, I pose this question to you: If you had the chance to script an aspirational (though not perfect) manifesto for your life, would you seize the opportunity? #mindsetmastery #leadership #sportsbusinessmentor

Offering value continuously involves filtering feedback, prioritizing constructive input, and personal growth. Utilize non-constructive opinions as a catalyst for improvement, without allowing them to define you.

What do any of us appreciate? Optimism; the feeling that our actions make a difference. Validation; the feeling that our actions have made a positive impact. Appreciation; the feeling that our actions have made a positive impact. these are some of the reasons if I feedback is so important. When you’re giving feedback be considerate. Humans have a built-in radar that will detect (in most cases) insincerity and platitudes. As receivers of feedback, we should be willing to see criticism as an opportunity to identify areas for growth, rather than reasons for being put down. Same information, different perspective.

Who's excited for mid-year review season?!?!?! 💎 Positive and developmental feedback are CRITICAL for growth!! 🔦 Words change lives!! If you lead people, take this responsibility seriously! 📖 Most of us remember words (good or bad) years after the person who said them has forgotten. If we are friends IRL, you know I have a very distinct laugh. I had never considered that to be good or bad. Until... Two performance reviews in a row, it was called out in the 'constructive' section: 'Her laugh can be heard across the office.' After that, I thought about it....a lot. In professional settings, I tried to be different, and quieter. I have never forgotten those words, more than 10 years later. Recently, 🎤 Lori Robertson reframed this for me, "That is a life-giving laugh." Wow, her words went to my core and reframed something painful in a very powerful way. Feedback is critical for growth: ✅ Give it intentionally ✅ Give it abundantly ✅ Give it regularly #Leadership #LeadershipCoaching #LoveandLeadWell

I'm curious.... What's a current circumstance happening in your organization that's got you all knotted up and stressed out? Most of us view our unwanted circumstances as a "bad thing", something to be eliminated or changed immediately and at all costs. Well, I'd like to float an idea by you... 🎯Your current circumstances are exactly what you need to evolve yourself, your team, your culture and/or your organization.🎯 When you look at those unwanted experiences, situations and circumstances as a gift, you make a foundational shift. A shift that allows you to use them as the curriculum for growth, change, and evolution. Those circumstances are like flashing lights telling you... "Right here is an opportunity to be better, do differently, grow, or evolve" So, the next time you find yourself getting frustrated with something or someone in your organization, take a moment and remind yourself... 🎯"This is exactly what I need to evolve myself, the leadership, our culture, or the organization.🎯 You're then in the right mindset for observing, with zero judgment, what must change to evolve. #leadershipdevelopment #innercoach #executivecoaching #leadershipcoaching

This is for 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 and one of the biggest, most important lessons I ever learned. I first came across Brené Brown a few years ago whilst doing some research on leadership and there it was, in black and white on page 48 of Brené's book 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱. Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind. This changed so much for me professionally and personally. This was the moment that I realised that I wasn't getting the outcomes that I was expecting from conversations I was having at home and at work because I wasn't being clear enough with my feedback and/or instructions. Here is a real life example: Someone who was working with me had been making some mistakes at work which I needed to speak to them about and instead of me being direct about what had happened and what needed to change, I put it to them gently, you know to minimise how much I may upset them with the feedback. Sound familiar? Why do we do that? I'll tell you why and it's a bit ugly to be honest. We say, '𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘱𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮', but actually what is going on here is that we didn't want to feel uncomfortable with the fact that we caused them to be upset. So you see, what seems on the surface like a selfless act is actually completely selfish! How could I have expected this employee to change if I wasn't giving them clear feedback, how could they ever possibly grow? If you're not happy with the outcomes of your conversations, maybe question, 'what was my part in all of this?' - was I clear? Be kind enough to give clear feedback to those around you so that they can grow. ✨ #bossthefkup #sales #leadership #work #life #passion #authenticity #growth #brenebrown
