Development Hacks: the power of seeking feedback

The fourth episode in our mini-series of tips and ideas for personal development explores the topic of feedback.  

 We discuss why getting feedback is so important.  The need to gain different perspectives on how you are developing, how the last project was received by colleagues you assisted, and how this information can then guide your career thinking.

 There’s also the key question of how to have the feedback conversation, what will make it as effective as possible, how you can best create some good actions, and what will help the person giving you feedback to be as open as possible.

 Questions to consider:

·       To give you some useful data on your strengths and any areas for development, who do you need to speak with?

·       What would you really like to get out of this specific conversation, which will most help you? 

·       After you receive the feedback, which 2 specific actions will you take?
