You’ve now completed a full feedback loop – seeking, making sense and using feedback, all while taking care of yourself emotionally.

You’ve demonstrated that you can do it, so you’re ready for the next challenge: doing it in the long term.

To help you get there, it’s worth reflecting on how well your plans and goals have worked for you so far.

In the next step, will ask you to complete our follow-up survey, which can help you to reflect on how the way you seek and work with feedback may have changed.

Reflection

Through this course you’ve developed goals for what you’d like to do when seeking feedback. You’ve also made if-then plans to help you achieve those goals, and a log to help you to keep track of how you are going. You might have already discovered that some of your goals and plans you’ve set haven’t worked out exactly as you thought they would, or went better than anticipated.

It’s very normal to need to regularly update goals and plans as we learn how well they work in reality. What is one change you will make to yours, and what is one thing that you’ll keep the same? It might be that you need to adjust your goal and/or plan to make it more achievable, or more challenging, depending on your current progress.

If you feel comfortable, share with the rest of the course.
