“Without feedback, you’re just guessing at your growth. Your next breakthrough, your next jump in your career is hiding inside the feedback that you are too afraid to ask for.”
This year, Zovig Garboushian takes “When Does It Get Good?” in a direction that focuses on what makes work truly fulfilling, starting with the overlooked art of asking for feedback. How can leaders evolve without clear and actionable input? Zovig discusses why feedback is crucial, how to make it actionable, and the best moments to ask for it. She shares strategies, such as framing specific questions that prompt meaningful answers and understanding the importance of timing in the feedback process.
Could fear be keeping you from the insights that can unlock your potential? Zovig shows how embracing feedback can reshape not only what you achieve but also how you lead, think, and grow. If you’re serious about developing a growth mindset and becoming a more effective leader, this episode is your next step forward!
Quotes
- “Giving feedback, even when it’s expected, can make you break out in hives and run screaming from the building. So most folks’ relationships to feedback probably needs a little bit of work. And we walk around thinking that feedback is this horrible monster in a neon sign with a big old capital F. But I’m gonna be super basic here and repeat what I say all the time: feedback is a gift, and feedback is necessary, and feedback isn’t optional if you’re serious about getting better.” (02:18 | Zovig Garboushian)
- “Without feedback, you’re just guessing at your growth. Your next breakthrough, your next jump in your career is hiding inside the feedback that you are too afraid to ask for.” (13:52 | Zovig Garboushian)
- “The person who’s willing and courageous to say, ‘Hey, I’d love to get your feedback on how I’m doing’ will eventually and always blow past the person who isn’t asking for it.” (16:00 | Zovig Garboushian)
