3. What is the most absurd
that you have received?
FEEDBACK

4. 360 Feedback
Information that highlights perceptions of the employee
from customers, managers, peers, direct reports, etc.

5. To exercise introspection and the willingness to learn
more about your fundamental nature, purpose and
essence.
Self-Reflection

7. “Speaking the Truth”

10. What might each person
think during the silence?

11. What might each person learn
as a result of this event?

12. Feedback alone is not enough…
you must reflect
Otherwise, you run the risk of
perceptions limiting your
opportunities.

13. “Inability to Relate”

16. What might each person think
at the end of the meeting?

17. What might each person learn
as a result of this event?

18. It means focusing on a willingness
to learn various perspectives and
purposes.
Reflecting does not mean
agreement…

19. To exercise introspection and the willingness to learn
more about your fundamental nature, purpose and
essence.
Self-Reflection
Are you limiting yourself by
not reflecting because you:
- Relied only on feedback
- Disagreed with feedback
- Didn’t relate to messenger
- Didn’t value observer role
- Already learned everything

20. So begin your self-reflection now…
Why was that
absurd?
