1. The F.I.R.S.T. Tip
Do we need to choose between seeking advice or feedback?
Embracing both could be the most empowering and inspiring option. Because both offer unique benefits, and knowing when to use them can significantly impact your personal and professional growth.
Let’s take a closer look at these 2 approaches.
Asking for advice involves actively seeking guidance or suggestions, and tapping into other people’s expertise or experiences. It's a proactive approach aimed at learning from other people’s experiences and insights. It is particularly useful when dealing with complex decisions, uncharted territory, or when at a crossroads in your professional or personal life.
On the other hand, seeking feedback is like getting an evaluation of your work, and suggestions on how it can be enhanced. It is more retrospective, analysing past performance or outcomes. Seeking feedback fosters a growth mindset by highlighting areas for development.
In essence, the effectiveness of both will depend on your specific situation and desired outcomes /goals. That is why, integrating both practices into your personal and professional toolkit will accelerate your chances of success.
Tip: Forge your path to success by actively asking for advice and seeking feedback.
