Thank you Mr.Hirsh the concept of feedback to feed forward will really help me have a better outcome.I will definitely use the mirror approach when giving feedback.
I really like this point of view. I have learned through practice that you need to get people to see things for themselves and questions are always the answer to that. I like the Mirror Holder idea you present to help this stick!
I enjoyed a session about feedback with Joe Hirsch recently at the Learning Forward Conference in Grapevine, Texas. Take away: As a giver of feedback, I need to hold up a mirror and ask, "Who do you want to be?" Help them to feedforward. Make my voice smaller so that their voice can grow. Thanks for the insights. ~~MB
I think this is also a great talk. Feedback is something that is apart of life. The mirror holding method is something that allows you to look at yourself at the same time your giving feedback to someone else.
I personally can admit that I was not always comfortable receiving feedback in any area. But he did talk about a great point that feedback can be switched to something positive and good rather than bad. As I grew older I had to open up and allow people to give me feedback. Weather it was at work, at home, or in school with my assignments. It has definitely changed my way of thinking when it comes to receiving feedback. To me it means having an opportunity to hear how you can be better and improve. It does not always necessarily mean you are wrong but rather opening up to a space of improvement.
your story speaks to me and I like the realness of how the wisdom grew in age as in my early school carrier I hated seeing the corrections teachers showed on quizzes and and comments in general but know I welcome all forms of feedback.
I myself like to look at feedback as a learning experience, to maybe do things in a better way that i may not know or maybe a better way of doing things. I've always like to learn new things and always will.
