Feedback Strategies: Process Praise and Mirror Feedback

Image
Be a Mirror This article is useful as it lists out examples as to how each of the 5 useful qualities within feedback is presented. I always find that being specific when talking to people can show you are genuinely interested in their life, but I never thought this could be utilized when giving feedback. Another important quality is to not tell them they are missing something as that does not allow growth because they did not put any effort into something they did not even think of.

He has came to be known as the keeper of time and even a great warrior, but back in ancient times some called him a god. After a loss whilst fighting the dialects, the doctor regenerated, but this time as a man, the avatar of Vishnu himself. He goes by Rama, and keeps his true identity a secret. The reason for this is to help rid the earth of the monstrous demons that haunt it. He always kept his companion by his side as to not be too lonely on his journey throughout the world. He did not meet her until he was traveling and saw her, Sita daughter of Janaka, at that instant he could see into her soul, he saw beauty, elegance, but most importantly loyalty.
