Game-Changing Feedback Tips You Never Knew You Needed!
Posted: September 12, 2024
The Role of Full Body Listening
How do we make sure we’re not just hearing feedback but truly receiving it? This is where the concept of full body listening comes in. When we fully engage our mind and body in listening, we show the person giving feedback that we’re open to hearing them. This encourages them to give us more helpful insights.
For example, have you ever noticed someone giving you feedback in a negative tone? It’s easy to get defensive, but full body listening helps you filter out the negative tone and focus on the useful information behind it. It’s about listening with both your mind and heart, allowing you to grow even from the toughest feedback.
Seeking Out Feedback
Sometimes, the most helpful feedback comes from places we least expect—like a teacher we don’t always get along with, or an instructor or another student who notices something we don’t. By listening with our whole body, we become more open to ALL kinds of feedback, allowing us to continuously improve.
Whether you’re practicing karate, studying for school, or working on personal goals, feedback is an essential tool for growth. And with full body listening, you can make sure you’re not just hearing but truly understanding the feedback that will help you become your personal best.
