|| Feedback Is Overrated. Ask This Instead ||
This made me pause for a second...
We talk a lot about feedback.... asking for it, giving it, building systems around it. It’s almost treated like a requirement for growth..
But when you think about it, most feedback conversations are backward-looking.
They dissect what already happened… what went right, what went wrong… and then kind of stop there.
What I liked about this take is how simple the shift is.
Instead of asking for feedback, ask for advice.
Advice changes the energy of the conversation.
It pushes people to think forward, not judge the past...
It turns the exchange into collaboration instead of evaluation.
I’ve found that advice is usually more specific, more actionable, and honestly… more motivating.
Small wording change.
Big impact.

Great insight about shifting from backward-looking feedback to forward-thinking advice. Have you noticed certain situations where this reframing works better than others?
