Timing of Feedback
The timing of feedback is critical. It is important that the person receiving the feedback is ready to receive feedback. I know that I have had times that I just am not emotionally ready to receive feedback on my behaviors or performance. A good way to ensure the timing is right is to set a time to talk about it. I have found that it is just not wise to spring coaching/feedback on people. It is hard for people to have self discovery if they have not had time to think about the topic at hand ahead of time.
Todd and I have found that when we need to have serious conversation with one of our children. We tell them we will be talking about the topic at a specific time. This gives the kids the opportunity to think about their behavior and for Todd and I to be prepared. We also find that we are all less emotional, because the timing if right.
