You Speak A Lot About Listening To The Feedback Life Gives But What Does That Actually Mean?

Speaker 1: (00:00)
You speak a lot about listening to the feedback life gives, but what does that actually mean? And how do you define good feedback?

Speaker 2: (00:06)
Okay. I like to sort of start with this in failure. And actually seeing failure as a massively positive thing. So what I mean by that is every time we fall down, every time something doesn't quite work, there's some feedback to be listened... To be learnt from that experience, because if we choose to and we're willing and brave enough to look at why it happened, we can learn from it and we can make sure that it doesn't happen again. Or we can put strategies in place to make sure it's less likely to happen again. So I know that sounds like it's negative, but it's actually incredibly positive, but too many people fall down, fail and then just don't do it again, because they're like: "Oh, I can't do that". Or, you know, "I tried and I failed" or "I tried and it didn't work". That's when you're not listening to the feedback that life's giving you. Because it's actually told you: "So that didn't work - this might be how it will work".
