00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: the AD Council. Good morning, This is Laura. Welcome to

14
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: the New Corner Office, the podcast where we share strategies

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: for thriving in the new world of war, where location

16
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: and hours are more flexible than in the past. Today's

17
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: tip is to seek out more feedback, especially when you're

18
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: working remotely. As anyone who's ever sweated while waiting for

19
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: a teacher to return a test can tell you, getting

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: feedback isn't always fun. Putting yourself out there and waiting

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: to hear what others think. Of your best efforts can

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: be mildly stressful at best and downright terrifying at worst. However,

23
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: plenty of research and common sense tells us that actively

24
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: seeking out feedback can help us perform better at our jobs.

25
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: People who seek out feedback tend to be more creative,

26
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: and our scene is more effective by their peers and

27
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: supervisors and direct reports. No matter how advanced you are

28
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: in your career, there are always places to improve. Remote

29
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: workers in particular, can become somewhat isolated and stuck in

30
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: our own routine teens, and we generally talk less to

31
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: others during the work day, so we get less casual feedback.

32
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: In a recent episode, I mentioned that managers should commit

33
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: to doing virtual hallway coaching impromptu guidance after any teachable event.

34
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: But in case your supervisor isn't listening to this podcast, well,

35
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: you'll need to actively seek out such feedback. The good

36
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: news is that doing so isn't rocket science. The best

37
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: way to ask for feedback is to ask, Yes, these

38
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: requests can feel awkward, but so what feel the nerves

39
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: and do it anyway. Send the person you'd like feedback

40
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: from a friendly email and let them know that you'd

41
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: like to set up a quick check in meeting to

42
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: discuss your performance. You can also just pick up the

43
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: phone and call, or ask if the other person can

44
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: stay on the line after your next video conference. While

45
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: people tend to most want feedback from their supervisors, don't

46
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: discount colleagues. They can see how you lead meetings or

47
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: how you explain ideas to clients. They might have thoughts,

48
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: so ask as you ask, remember that specific questions are

49
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: most helpful. If you were truly in hot water, you

50
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: would probably know that. So if nothing terrible is going on,

51
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: the question how am I doing is most likely to

52
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: elicit a great and while nice, that doesn't give you

53
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: much to work with, So instead try questions like our

54
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: clients seemed a little distracted on that last call. What

55
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: do you think I could have done differently to keep

56
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: him more engaged? Or I'm working on making my presentations tighter.

57
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: Could you look at three slides with me and give

58
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: me some pointers. While feedback is generally helpful, remember that

59
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: it is not infallible. If you disagree with someone's suggestions,

60
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: that's fine. You can thank the person for the feedback

61
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: and then do what you wish with their thoughts. This

62
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: is one reason I suggest soliciting a lot of feedback.

63
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: Any One comment is what it is. If you keep

64
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: hearing the same thing over and over again from many people,

65
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: well that's probably worth investigating. So whenever you get feedback

66
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: from someone, see if you can arrange this more regularly.

67
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: You and a colleague might check in with each other

68
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: every week to compare notes. Hopefully your boss does regular

69
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: one on ones with you, but if she doesn't, well

70
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: ask to have them and come to each of these

71
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: chats with prepared questions or work in hand for her feedback.

72
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: She'll quickly see how useful these sessions are, which will

73
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: probably encourage more such behavior in the future. Hearing feedback

74
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: that isn't a hundred percent positive can be jarring, but

75
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: rather than fret about this, try to see it as

76
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: an opportunity. Olympic athletes and professional musicians get feedback all

77
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: the time. That's why they're so good at what they do.

78
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: So seek out feedback whenever you can. And your future self, well,

79
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: thank you. Probably your boss, well thank you too. In
