Career Talk: Learn - Grow - Thrive

Feedback is so important, I cannot stress enough how important feedback is. Here’s a question for you:  Do you ask for feedback often? At work? At home? With friends? Why or why not? Take some time to think about that.   Am I asking my boss for feedback? Am I asking my colleagues for feedback? Am I asking my spouse at home for feedback? Am I asking my family for feedback? Am I asking my friends what their thoughts are?  This is really important.  Specifically as it relates to our career, feedback is a really interesting part of our jobs that most of us only receive once a year. Often it’s in the form of annual review, performance review or a merit increase conversation. It is usually a very formal conversation and often it is not very helpful or productive.  All employees care about what their raise is going to be. Often managers need to just get the reviews done. I want you to think about how you can get more feedback throughout the year so you can constantly be improving.&
