Day 10: Encourage feedback

Encourage feedback

Feedback from Mom

Stop:

  • Feedback: Stop procrastinating on things around the house.
  • Reflection: Hearing this was difficult, but it resonated with me. I've often delayed household chores, which creates unnecessary tension and disorganization.

Keep:

  • Feedback: Keep taking care of your brothers and being there for them.
  • Reflection: This was reassuring, as I try to maintain strong family bonds and support my siblings. It encourages me to continue being present and attentive to their needs.

Start:

  • Feedback: Taking the dog out more
  • Reflection: This suggestion was insightful. I often neglect to take her out for walks because of a bust schedule, but I should really do my part around the house.

Feedback from Friend

Stop:

  • Feedback: Stop doubting your capabilities and selling yourself short.
  • Reflection: This was eye-opening. I didn't realize how much my self-doubt was apparent to others. It's a reminder to work on my self-confidence.

Keep:

  • Feedback: Keep being the go-to person for advice; your insights are valuable.
  • Reflection: This was very uplifting. Knowing that my friends value my advice motivates me to continue offering thoughtful and helpful perspectives.

Start:

  • Feedback: Start taking more risks, both personally and professionally.
  • Reflection: This feedback was encouraging. I tend to play it safe, and this pushes me to step out of my comfort zone and embrace new challenges.

Feedback from Manager

Stop:

  • Feedback: Stop overcommitting to tasks beyond your capacity.
  • Reflection: This was tough to hear but necessary. I often take on too much, leading to burnout. It's a reminder to set realistic limits and delegate when needed.

Keep:

  • Feedback: Keep up the proactive communication and collaboration with the team.
  • Reflection: This was gratifying to hear. It reinforces my efforts to maintain clear and consistent communication within the team.

Start:

  • Feedback: Start seeking opportunities for professional development and upskilling.
  • Reflection: This was motivating. I need to actively look for ways to enhance my skills and knowledge, which can open up new career opportunities.

Reflection on the Experience

How Did It Feel to Do the Activity?

Seeking feedback using the 'Stop, Keep, Start' framework felt both challenging and enlightening. It required vulnerability and openness to hear potentially critical insights from people whose opinions I value. Initially, I felt nervous and slightly defensive about receiving negative feedback. However, the process became more comfortable as I reminded myself of the purpose: personal growth and improvement.

How Will It Affect Me in the Future?

The feedback I received has already influenced my mindset and future actions. It highlighted areas where I need to change habits, reinforce positive behaviours, and introduce new initiatives to pursue. Moving forward, I will:

  • Work on reducing procrastination and managing my time more effectively.
  • Maintain my supportive role with my family and friends.
  • Build my self-confidence and recognize my strengths.
  • Take calculated risks to explore new opportunities.
  • Set realistic limits at work and focus on continuous professional development.

Day 12: Learn from others

Learn from others TED Talk by Carol Dweck - "The Power of Believing That You Can Improve" ( Carol Dweck: The power of believing that you can improve | TED Talk ) Description: I watched a TED Talk by Carol Dweck, the psychologist who popularized the concept of a growth mindset. In her talk, she discussed the difference between fixed and growth mindsets and how the latter can lead to greater success and fulfillment. She shared compelling research findings and practical examples of how adopting a growth mindset can transform one's approach to challenges and learning. Reflection: The TED Talk was enlightening. Carol Dweck's insights helped me better understand the science behind a growth mindset and its profound impact on achievement and personal growth. I was particularly struck by the idea that praising effort rather than innate ability encourages a growth mindset. This reinforced my commitment to focusing on effort and learning in my own pursuits.

Day 2: the ‘What If” game

Transforming Canadian Sports: A Vision with Unlimited Resources and Support      If I had unlimited resources and support I would try to change the landscape of Canadian sports.      For the longest time, America has outclassed Canada when it comes to sports and this is because Canada just doesn't have the training or facilities or even support that America has. I believe that the benefit of having more Canadian athletes in professional sports leagues will only help the Canadian economy and the country in general. We are currently seeing this with the rapper Drake, who is so big that he actually helps the community whenever he does shows or even shops here. Imagine if we had athletes reach this level of hype, Canada would grow exponentially. Some real ways we could accomplish this: 1. Development of World-Class Facilities National Training Centers: Establish at least one high-tech training center in each province. These centers would be equipped with the l...
