Last Thursday, clouds covered most of the nation, so flying into San Diego; what usually is a beautiful landing over a rich blue ocean was cloud covered with just a thin line of blue. The Helm Society was holding a Mastermind leadership workshop with Marshall Goldsmith and Srikuman Rao, both executive/personal mastery coaches. One of the lessons learned was receiving and giving feedback, Marshall calls it “feedforward”, or focusing on the future and not the past. Feedback on a past we can’t change, has limited value, whereas suggestions for our future can catapult us forward. The key is for us to listen, take notes, without critiquing the suggestions – this is all about people helping us to be right and not proving we have been wrong.
