“Feedback is a gift. Sometimes it comes in a white box with a red ribbon. Sometimes it comes in a brown paper bag. Either way, it’s a gift. Open it.” — Shannon Cassidy

R.O.G. Takeaway Tips:

Offer someone effective feedback this week. Use the S.B.I. Feedback Model

Situation: A reminder of a time from the not-too-distant past.
Behavior: What did the person say or do, specifically.
Impact: How did that make you feel? How did it affect the situation?

Please share at least three positive S.B.I. Feedback offers and one constructive this week. Get into the Feedback Gym and get some reps in!

When receiving feedback, the only two words you need to say, “Thank you.” Thank them for having the courage to offer you feedback. It’s a gift, even if you disagree or see it differently. Saying, “thank you” after receiving a gift is demonstrating good manners.
