3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue # 56, 3rd August 2021

Definition of Feedback : The return of information that is provided following an activity or process. or. The process in which part of the output of a system is returned to its input in order to regulate its further output. In fact, feedback is ubiquitous.

This would mean that feedback is actually feedforward right? Why do we then hesitate in giving it? Importantly, why do we fear receiving it? What can we do to give and receive feedback better and, improve ourselves. We can possibly teach this to our children/students at a young age so as they grow older, they get better adapted to the process of feedback.

Here are some ideas for you. Don’t miss subscribing to this news letter by just entering your email here.

Two Thoughts of the Week

“The biggest problem is that Facebook and Google are these giant feedback loops that give people what they want to hear. And when you use them in a world where your biases are being constantly confirmed, you become susceptible to fake news, propaganda, demagoguery. ” Franklin Foer

“We all need people who will give us feedback. That’s how we improve.” Bill Gates

One Video of the Week

What if getting feedback wasn’t a source of fear, but joy? In this personal talk, speaker/author Joe Hirsch makes a passionate case for sharing “feedforward,” a new view of human potential.

When feedback draws others closer to their future selves, they experience the joy of self-discovery that leads to positive and lasting change. Joe Hirsch specializes in helping schools and businesses master the art and science of high-performance feedback. An award-winning educator and instructional leader, Joe has spent more than a decade in the K-12 and higher-ed markets training, coaching and empowering teachers and school administrators for success.

Based on his 2017 book, The Feedback Fix, Joe has shown clients like the Gates Foundation and members of the U.S. armed forces how to boost creativity, foster collaboration and deepen self-awareness. His work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Inc., Educational Leadership, and other major outlets.
