Generous feedback is the kind of feedback that’s pointed and makes people think and reflect.
Because of how pointed it is, it often feels like criticism at first. But when we get over the emotional reaction, we can reflect and see ourselves through the lens where the feedback makes sense.
The emotional labor of receiving generous feedback leads to two outcomes. Either stuck in the reaction, seeing it through the negative lens, or seeing what others see while we don’t.
Emotional regulation and shift are the key reasons that connect us with the help we need but often don’t get to see.
