Meaningful Feedback

This week I had some writer's block issues with "Meaningful Feedback". As a practitioner, giving and receiving feedback has never been an issue. Learning to write about it academically was a little more challenging.

So as I submitted my assignment and had some days to reflect on scenarios, situations, and mentors who shaped my experience with feedback I wondered, "How many people give feedback to help others improve performance or project outcomes?"

We only know...what we know.

Are we teaching students (traditional & non-traditional) today the role of meaningful feedback in the process of lifelong learning? Are you a silent sideline critic? Have you ever sought feedback from peers, mentors, or supervisors which helped you improve your own self assessments? How do you incorporate meaningful feedback?

As always, feedback, comments, and shared knowledge are always welcome.

Great topic for the day for all of us! Students, teachers, bankers, country leaders!! Define "feedback"; does one seek it, use it, digest and understand it?!
Economically, one household, one nation, we might all have avoided some of our painful lessons had we sought, and made use

of, "feedback"!! Thanks for the Thought for the day!
