3 Concrete Steps To Make You become More Effective

Actively Ask For Feedback

We all have the potential to be champions in our own right. But what sets apart those who become outstanding in their fields from those who don’t? One of the key factors is having people in our lives who are not afraid to give us feedback.

Feedback, especially the blunt type, can be difficult to receive. However, it is crucial for growth and development. In the words of the famous motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar, “If you’re not growing, you’re dying.” All of us need feedback to help us identify areas where we need to improve.

When seeking feedback, it’s essential to be prepared to hear things you might not like. But it’s also important to remember that feedback is not necessarily negative. It’s either you’re doing well, keep doing it, or you need to improve, develop, and grow. So, when asking for feedback, be ready to receive the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Be Truly Coachable

One of the most critical aspects of receiving feedback is being honestly coachable. Being coachable means having an open mind and being willing to learn.

 However, this is easier said than done, as all of us have a certain level of pride, ego, and stubbornness that we need to work on. To be coachable, we need to deliberately work on our egos and have the mindset of wanting to learn.

Another key component of becoming a champion is having mentors or coaches in our lives. Mentors and coaches shorten the road to success by providing guidance and direction. They have the experience and knowledge that can help us avoid common pitfalls and reach our goals faster.

 Show Gratitude For Feedback Received

When receiving feedback, it is important to remember that it comes from the perception of the person giving it. Feedback should focus on specific actions, their impact, and what can be done to improve in the future. It is also important to be grateful for the feedback, even if it doesn’t always align with your own opinions. This gratitude can help shift your energy and perspective. Listen more and talk less, and save the feedback to help you grow as a person. It is important to keep in mind that the goal is to become a better person, develop and help others. Share this knowledge with others, as it may help them grow as well.

In conclusion, becoming a champion requires effort, dedication, and a willingness to seek feedback and be coachable. It’s essential to have people in our lives who are not afraid to give us constructive criticism and to have mentors who can help us grow and develop. Remember, feedback and being coachable are essential components of growth, and growth is essential for success.
