Giving feedback is an important aspect of corporate communication. It is a two-way process in which you can either give it effectively or receive it constructively. In business, education, and business training, feedback is critical. Feedback is really useful information that will be used to make critical or minor decisions. Personally, I kinda dread receiving feedback because I initially think its personal, which I know it not and is only there to help you.
An article I read was "Why rejection hurts so much- and what to do about it" . The most common emotional trauma we experience in daily life is rejection. Why does rejection hurt? Our minds are programmed to react in this manner. In a study it found, when we are rejected, the same parts of our brain that are activated when we are in pain are activated. Unfortunately, the most serious consequences of rejection are frequently self-inflicted. We may feel disgusted and ashamed of ourselves, we damage our self-esteem even more.
There are healthier ways to respond to rejection, as well as things we can do to reduce negative responses, alleviate emotional anguish, and rebuild our self-esteem. Here are some examples:
Have zero tolerance for self-criticism
As natural it may seem and we're all used to criticise ourselves when we make a mistake or receive reject is do not put yourself down. Another typical blunder is assuming that a rejection is personal when it isn't, whether its your friends not inviting you out, romantic or professional.
Revive your self-worth
After a rejection, affirming qualities of yourself that you know are valuable is the best method to boost feelings of self-worth. Make a list of five qualities you have that is important. Then, for each of them, write a brief paragraph explaining why the characteristic is important to others and how you would convey it in the appropriate situation. This type of emotional first aid will improve your self-esteem, minimise your emotional discomfort.
Another article I have read was "Silence the Critical Voices in Your Head". In the article, according to research, repeating negative thoughts in our heads raises our risk of sadness, isolates us from others, and prevents us from achieving our goals. Rajeev, a high-tech company's executive vice president in charge of a billion-dollar corporation, fell victim of this thinking. Rajeev was hungry for information on how he might boost his efficiency even more.He hired 15 people how they see him as a person and provide feedback. The outcomes were overwhelmingly favourable. Rajeev's wit and commercial acumen was admired. Rajeev, on the other hand, was blind to the positive responses. Instead, he amplified the negative critiques. Which led to a downward spiral in all aspects of his life.
Here's how you get out of a funk and get back to work:
- Looking for the positives
- Hear the positives
- Dig in to understand the positives
- Believe the positives, and act as if it were true
