Collaborative Communication
Using the Marshall Rosenberg method, I was able to give feedback to my partner carefully is more concerned about how he would take the feedback or how he would take it. This meant that I had to be more careful to give feedback in a way that is neutral while being appreciative of the good things before correcting the negative side. Before learning about the Marshall Rosenberg method, my approach towards giving feedback was not cautious, and I ended up most of the time doing it wrongly. The people I gave feedback always to end up taking it negatively, as I delivered it in a wrong way.
How I give feedback is important to me because it determines how the person I am addressing takes the feedback. When someone takes feedback positively, it means that there is a higher chance of them rectifying the problem, which is always the main reason why I give my opinion to them. How I receive feedback is important because it is the determining factor if I will take the initiative to rectify what I have been told about and change it for the better. If I am not happy with the feedback that I am given, it means that I have taken it negatively, and it may cause enmity. After learning how to give proper feedback, most of the individuals I give feedback to receive it properly, and they take the initiative to work on the issue.
In the future, I would like to remember how to receive and give feedback because it is an important aspect of how we relate with other people. I will also love to remember that our brains always are supportive of us even when we are on the wrong. This will help me understand that, at times, I am wrong, and I should take the feedback given positively.
