Understanding the perspective of a blind spot
Blind spots, we all have them, and as much as we want to think we fully know ourselves there’s always another perspective, another point of view that we fail to see. This is exactly where feedback comes in handy, to help us improve and recognize those blind spots.
Join me in this episode to learn about the best practices around feedback. It is essential as professionals to be open to feedback, so we can learn from it, and most importantly have the ability to accept it, process it, and come back and ask questions if needed.
