Give Constructive Feedback To Build Authentic Honest Dialogue Trusting Relationships

                         “Build authentic honest dialogue trusting relationships for each person to thrive.”

– Raj Gavurla  

I’ve seen several approaches for giving constructive feedback.  Here’s mine after agreeing giving constructive feedback to build authentic honest dialogue trusting relationships would be better:

1. What can be better?
2. Listen
3. Talk w/ each other to equip (don’t say, “you are suppose to know that” or “you don’t know that”)
4. Reevaluate in the future

Using this framework allows for mental preparation and for mental performance to forward performance of each person involved.

My Tennis Coach Manuel Was At The Tennis Court

“Take care of your mind. It’s the only place you have to live.” – Raj Gavurla

My teammates said, “there’s Manuel.  He’s coming.”  My tennis coach, Manuel, walked by the fence and I asked him “Coach, did you bring your workbook?”  He left it at home.  Then we played and coach was encouraging.

He asked what have you been doing to play so well?  I said, completing my Your Raise The Bar Primer: Mental Performance Tools workbook.  He said yes, but how the rapid increase in skill.  I said, in addition to the workbook I’ve been using my private advanced mental performance breakthroughs skills coaching sessions. People pay for that.

Then, he evaluated me instead of giving me feedback.  He said, I like this (the proportionally increasing line) using his finger, then he leveled it, and then it went downward.  He said the increasing and level is better.  You lost focus on the downward part.  Then, he said, “be careful”.

While using my workbook to evaluate my performance and to write what I am working on for more “win fun tennis”, I reflected on how I could “be careful”.  On the downward part, I wasn’t using my new focus technique before serving the ball and my mind’s eye.   I’m looking forward to my deliberate practice session to practically apply what I learned and to my next match.

If sports doesn’t produce income for you, how about using my workbook, private mental performance breakthroughs learning sessions (workshops), and highly customized individualized coaching for business and education in your workplace.  Yes, coaching use to be paid only for executives, however, you’ll create mental performance breakthroughs to listen to learn good to win fun, better earning, and experience greater when you use it throughout your workplace.
