Feedback is a gift

I was once told by a Technical Director that feedback is a gift.  And he was right!

The best feedback is given willingly, honestly and adds value for the recipient.

Poor feedback is rushed, not focused and given without care.

I prefer to give the former and receive the former.

I’ve given one person the full feedback service and it took a while.  I’m happy to do more and have offered my services to two more people.  One of them has had very focused feedback on their draft #1 and we’ll see if more is requested.

We have to have feedback on three students completed and in by 5pm Thursday Week 4.  Not a lot of time to get this done, I’m happy to put the time in and I’d appreciate three of my followers willing to do the same.

Happy Studies (and Feedback)

Between the sheets…..

Who knew a company annual report could be so much fun?  Not I that’s for sure.

After much writing, editing, internet searches and scribbles I hereby declare my draft of ASS#1 Steps 2 through to 6 ready for reading.  May god have mercy on your souls.

To be honest I feel it’s a bit of an epic at 13 pages and I apologize in advance to any of you brave souls who want to have a look and give me some feedback.

I suggest you get a warm (or cold, not judging) beverage of your choice, a comfy chair and get settled before attempting to read it.

The spreadsheet is also embedded in the document.  This I found harder than I should’ve done.  Mainly as I only printed the financial reports from the 2018 report and had to hand write on all the earlier numbers, which was a bit of a nuisance.  The other bit that slowed me down was watching the tutorial video.  This could do with some editing as I found myself pausing it, adding some bits to my sheet, then having to wait for the next bit of guidance to be reveled.

I did draw some parallels though in the fact that I’m sure my children at that age would not have been happily gurgling in the background.  May be that was the clever editing?

What I haven’t done is chosen my top 3 blogs.  I’ve put my contenders in the draft, it’s still an open race and of course I am open to bribes.   As for feedback I’ve provided bits and pieces to people on their blogs and stuff, I’ll start on the drafts tomorrow.

Enough of my ramblings and let’s skip to the good bit.
