FM Walsh & Associates Inc.

As I come up with new ideas and suggestions, I often find myself receiving constructive feedback from many.  When I first began, I found this feedback somewhat intimidating and I felt uncomfortable sharing my ideas with certain people.  I thought I wanted feedback from only those who would be positive.  I also felt the “constructive” criticism needed to be validated by three or more people who I respected.  It was important to me to be both supported by and accountable to these people.  Mentorship and support can always be important when receiving and acting on feedback; I have found that new ideas and thoughts are brought to life by constructive criticism. 

For the next month, try to be around colleagues who will give you the kind of feedback that will get your ideas flowing.
