How to Be a Better Human

NOTE

**How to Ask for Feedback **

When seeking feedback, it is important to choose your words carefully and ask in a way that encourages a genuine response. Embrace the discomfort of receiving feedback and give the other person time to think by staying silent for a few seconds. Listen with the intent to understand, ask follow-up questions, and avoid responding defensively. Reward candor by taking action on the feedback and seeking further input. If you disagree with the feedback, demonstrate that you are open to feedback by acknowledging the points you can agree with and then have a respectful disagreement. This approach can help build stronger relationships and enable growth through feedback.
