One of my besties and I do an annual feedback review. The goal is to be as honest and exposing as possible. Crying is encouraged.
I try to use different questions each year. Here’s 2023’s:
1. What’re you hesitant to tell me for fear it might hurt my feelings? 2. How do you wish I was more like you? 3. How do you wish you were more like me? 4. What impresses you most about me? 5. What would you say at my funeral/eulogy?
These reviews always teach me something I didn’t know about myself. They also prove that openness and being candid don’t kill us but in fact, make us stronger.
I’ll report my lessons learned in a few weeks.
