Receiving positive feedback felt "warm." Like I was being taken cared of by someone who wanted the best for me.

Getting feedback early on when I was unsure of a process helped me feel at ease about the work I'd undertaken so far. Because of this, I try to provide early feedback for new processes or people.

I had no idea what the feedback meant and was really struggling as a result with determining what to do with it

2025-05-29 18:20:43 UTC

Like I'm sharpening my skills, language, and approach

Feedback when given timely and constructively makes it feel like a manager/colleague is invested in my success.

As first-time manager it's a blessing to hear I'm doing a good job!

2025-05-29 18:22:08 UTC

Getting GOOD feedback is a validating and comforting affirmation that my time was spent well and not wasted.

Prepping

2025-05-29 18:22:10 UTC

Like I need to prepare myself and don't know what's coming

2025-05-29 18:22:16 UTC

I try to note every piece of feedback I receive

Ahhh!

2025-05-29 18:22:37 UTC

Stressful

2025-05-29 18:23:21 UTC

Making sure to provide relevant feedback at the appropriate time

2025-05-29 18:23:21 UTC

A bit micromange-y!

Try to make things happen even during tough times. The feeling of accomplishment after it gets completed and they give you positive feedback about it

2025-05-29 18:24:10 UTC

More intentional about providing and requesting

2025-05-29 18:25:09 UTC

Uncomfortable
