Power of feedback

well being bank: to strengthen positive engagement through positively giving and receiving feedback.

giving and receiving developmental, non-judgemental feedback:

·        is a powerful way to build trust

·        focuses on what you are doing well

·        encourages you to try new approaches to grow your brain’s ability

·          assists others to strive, thrive, and flourish

·        may come from family, friends, or teachers

·        welcome and accept it

Describe how you currently give and receive feedback:

Your personal best ways to look at things:

·        are through the lens of your signature and top supporting strengths

·        so when asked to give feedback by someone, use the perspectives of your strengths.

·        aim to inspire positive emotions in them

·          avoid saying hat you think the other person wants to hear

·        offer positive alternatives to negative approaches

·        say ‘you’ not ‘we’; the feedback is about them, not you

·        listen and speak with your eyes, ears, or heart

·          avoid encouraging a ‘victim’ mentality of blaming, justifying, and storytelling

·        discuss possible, then probable, then preferred strategies.

When receiving feedback:

·        listen and process what is being said

·        avoid thinking about your reply; just listen

MINDFULNESS ACTIVITY

Changing names - if you were to change your first and surnames, describe what your new names would be, why you chose them, and how you would act and feel.

RESILIENCE BUILDER

Negative thinkers look for what is wrong in what they are doing and with a fixed mindset keep doing the same things and eventually give up. They use negative self-talk. Describe a time you have been in this position and how did it feel? What are two things you could have done to turn the situation around?
