The Power of Seeking Advice instead of Feedback

Seeking advice instead of feedback is a valuable approach for personal and professional growth. When we ask for feedback, we often encounter cheerleaders or critics, who either applaud our best self or attack our worst self. What we truly need is a coach who sees our potential and helps us become better versions of ourselves. To get others to coach us, we should focus on seeking advice rather than feedback. Feedback is backward-looking, while advice is forward-looking and provides actionable suggestions for improvement. By actively seeking advice, we can tap into the wisdom of others and make specific improvements. This approach can lead to valuable tips and greater growth. Seeking advice is a skill worth developing, as it allows us to continuously improve and strive for excellence.(Time 0:39:03)
