Hidden Brain

NOTE

Assume Positive Intent in Feedback

When receiving feedback, it is common to question the motives behind the advice instead of evaluating the advice itself. Research indicates that individuals often respond defensively by attempting to understand the adviser’s perspective, particularly when the subject matter is personally significant. This tendency can obstruct genuine understanding and growth. To foster effective communication, it is crucial to listen intently to the advice offered and presume positive intent, allowing for constructive dialogue and personal development. Rather than automatically doubting the motives of the adviser, embracing their intention can lead to more productive interactions and deeper learning.
