In over two decades of coaching and guiding professionals across diverse geographies and industries, I’ve observed one consistent growth accelerator: the constructive use of feedback.

๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ณ๐: Take time to reflect on the feedback received. What can you learn from it? How does it align with your perception of your actions and their outcomes?

Early in my coaching career, I received feedback that while my sessions were informative, they could be more interactive. Initially, it was a tough pill to swallow, but this feedback was a turning point for me. By incorporating more interactive elements into my sessions, not only did the engagement levels soar, but the outcomes for my clients improved significantly. This experience underscored the value of feedback in fostering personal and professional growth.
