Feedback Thoughts
1. Seven Ways to Crush Self-Doubt in Creative Work (click!)
This is a great article that describes how to overcome challenges and insecurities that everyone faces when trying to channel a creative place in themselves. Although the tips sound somewhat cliche, the points are further explained an unique, autobiographical perspective of the author. I loved when the author explained how comparison takes away from a sense of community. I never thought of it in this light, and I agree that it can almost be selfish to focus on yourself in relation to others, rather than the bigger picture.
2. Silence the Critical Voices in Your Head (click!)
I loved this article and how it told a story of a man's change of mindset that improved his work ethic as the leader of a high-tech company. As a leader in the community, the way one approaches and interprets feedback, can ultimately affect the way he or she interaction and guides others. The way one implements feedback shapes the way a community functions.
In this class, I understand that I will receive an overwhelming amount of feedback. From my experience taking mythology and folklore, it is important to take the comments seriously. While growing up, I have received the best feedback from my parents. During the angsty teenager stages of life, I found that it was often hard to take feedback from your parents. For me, it almost felt they didn't relate as much to the younger generation I was a part of. Other important mentors, such as some of my high school teachers have also given me amazing tools through their positive and negative feedback. However, I have found the positively delivered feedback to be the most effective.
