Feedback Thoughts

I think giving a receiving feedback can be a very difficult thing to do. I like that the Forbes article addressed the issue that it is uncomfortable to receive feedback. We live in a world that can be very hostile and competitive and getting feedback, often from people we do not know well, can be taken very personally. I liked what the Literacydaily article had to say about being specific with your advice. Sometimes when I am struggling to give feedback or advice on someone else's work I look for something specific that I really enjoyed. I try to make sure this specific thing is something unique to their work so that they know that it was appreciated and continue to stay original. I do not get as shaken up by negative feedback as some might, but sometimes it can be hard to take. It is hard to receive any negative feelings on something you have put time and effort into. When I do get this feedback I take it as a learning opportunity and remind myself that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that their advice is just as valuable as my own and should be taken into consideration.
