🤔 Why this matters

The quality of the feedback you receive is directly related to how you ask for it.

When you ask clear, well-framed questions, and provide the right context, you make it easier for people to respond thoughtfully. And when you start the habit with something small, you build comfort and trust that opens the door to deeper feedback later.

🛠 How to do it

Pick something you’ve done recently — a message you sent, a meeting you ran, a presentation draft — and ask someone for feedback on it. If you’re not usually comfortable asking for feedback, start with something low-stakes.

But instead of just asking "do you have any feedback?", try an approach that adds context and focuses the ask:

1. Name the specific thing you want insights about
2. Share your goals as well as the methods you chose to try to achieve them - What were you trying to achieve? How did you try to achieve your goals?
3. Ask specifically for feedback or advice about your goals, methods, and execution - Were the goals clear and were they the right goals? Should you have considered other methods? How well did you execute on the methods you chose? – If the outcome was measurable, you can also ask for feedback on whether the result matched the intent

✅ What to do this week

Choose someone you trust — a peer, manager, or collaborator — and ask for highly specific feedback (feel free to use the templates).
Keep it short. Keep it focused. Start building the habit.


✅ What to do after

You don’t need to act on every piece of feedback right away.
But you can always say thank you, reflect, and decide what to carry forward.
Openness is a strength — and so is discernment.
