If another person had a gift that could make you a better partner, friend, parent, family member or leader would you ask for it?

If I give you a fish, you will not be hungry today, although if I teach you how to fish, you will never go hungry again.

The gift is feedback fish, and most of us don't ask for it or know how to except this. Disagreeing is actually a very basic form of defence. Positively receiving this gift of feedback should gain action for change, open up relationships and enrich communication and understanding.

The natural inborn need for attention stays with us into adult life, and if you think for a moment what’s worse: being told off or being ignored. The most effective approach and by far the best, is to give feedback and praise.

Sandwich your feedback and always give praise on both sides of any recommendation to change.

• There is no failure, only feedback and If what you are doing isn’t working, do something else.

If we believe we can then we can and if we believe we can’t we will soon prove ourselves right.
