Feedback Journals
- Constructive Feedback, Feedback Awareness, Self-Assessment
Introduction
Process
- Keep a Feedback Journal for One Week
Each time you give or receive feedback, write down:
How the feedback was given (tone, wording, setting).
The reaction it received (positive, defensive, neutral).
What could be improved (more clarity, better timing, different approach). - Review & Identify Patterns
At the end of the week, look for trends in your feedback interactions.
Ask yourself:
Did certain ways of giving feedback work better than others?
How did people respond differently based on how feedback was delivered?
What adjustments can I make to improve my feedback skills?
Outcome
Reflection:
- What surprised you about how feedback was received?
- How can you adapt your feedback style to different situations and personalities?
- What changes will you make in how you give or receive feedback moving forward?
By completing this activity, you’ll become more self-aware in your feedback approach and gain strategies to make feedback more impactful and constructive.
