Mentoring Monday

Learn to accept and give feedback

The good news in a mentoring relationship is that you will receive feedback and insight from a knowledgeable and caring colleague.This feedback will confirm if you are on the right track.

But sometimes the feedback will be less than flattering. You need to be receptive to both kinds, positive and negative, and learn to accept feedback that's intended to improve your performance or your work.

The key is to learn to listen carefully to this constructive feedback, make adjustments, then seek more feedback so that you can continue to improve yourself.
