“When we seek feedback, we’re doing something brave and foolish. We’re asking to be proven wrong. To have people say “You thought you made something great, but you didn’t.” Ouch. What if, instead, we seek advice? Seek it like this: “I made something that I like, that I thought you’d like. How’d I do? What advice do you have for how I could make it fit your worldview more closely?” That’s not criticism. Or feedback. That sort of helpful advice reveals a lot about the person you’re engaging with. It helps us see his or her fears and dreams and wants. It’s a clue on how to get even closer next time.” -Seth Godin
Thanks to everyone for your great comments on yesterday’s blog post about seeking out feedback. I’m thrilled to hear it resonated.
For a bit of a deeper dive, I thought to share some prior posts I wrote about this topic:
And here are three great Seth Godin posts:
