Feedback Thoughts

 

Negative Feedback, via Glia

Conflict, specifically in the workplace, is something I dread more than almost anything. While I know the people who are above me care both about me and the office, when negative feedback is given to me I feel like I am being directly attacked and have let everyone down. However, this article showed me that I need to train my mind to crave these experiences. As I said, I know these people care about me and also give me positive feedback, so why am I so hung up on the few times I get corrected? If I know I have good intentions with my work, and that they are also working in good faith and trying to correct the mistake for next time, I should take that C graded performance, and turn it into an A graded performance for improvement.

The picture used above is from this article I found while browsing the internet. It gave me a different but also helpful perspective on negative feedback. This article dives into how negative feedback is a good thing, because it allows for so much growth. Without this kind of feedback, the same mistakes can be made, this gives a chance to learn and improve on those mistakes. Hearing and giving negative feedback also builds relationships and deepens relationships, because while it may feel like you are being attacked for a second, the one giving the feedback cares enough about the success of the other to give the feedback. I will totally take this mindset back into the workplace and any other realm needed when I give and receive feedback of any kind.

Introduction to the Eyeball Guy

  Hi there! I'm Clay Buchanan and I am a senior (kind of I am going to take an extra semester...) at OU! I am a Biology Pre-Optometry major and am going to start applying to Optometry schools Summer 2021! You probably can agree with me when I say that eyes are really weird, but at the same time I think they are super interesting and am excited for a future in optometry. I chose this as my major because I knew I wanted to both interact with and help people, and after working at a clinic in Norman I knew it was the job for me. Outside of my school life, I am a pretty predictable guy. I am a proud Christian, I live and breathe sports, and love time with my friends and family. When I am not working or dealing with schoolwork, you can probably find me on the couch watching whatever game is on, no matter the time of day. I don't care if it is foreign soccer in a language I don't even understand, I love following, watching and playing sports. If I could sit down and have a meal wi

Week 2 Story - Tricksters: The Burglar, The Security Guard, and the Curator

Image
 The Masked Bandit was one of the most elusive burglars the world had ever seen. In and out, no detection, no witnesses, ever- until one cool fall night.  The burglar wore his big puffy black jacket this cold night, easy for stuffing any extra loot not fitting inside his duffel. It was his good luck charm, at least he thought so. Another perfect heist, the priceless jewels of the biggest museum in the world, all his... until at the last second his jacket got caught in the safe. The undetectable man, trying to free himself from the restraints he put himself in, was detected. The on-shift security guard came upon him on one of his rounds and began to laugh at the fool caught in the safe. "Oh how silly you look!" mocked the security guard, "you have done my job for me!" "Please!" the burglar pleaded, "If you help free me from these restraints I will split them with you, we will both be rich!" The security guard paused, not expecting such an intrigui
