We often think of feedback as something we get once a year in a performance review—or as a reaction to something we’ve already done. But what if feedback was something you asked for on purpose, more often, and with clear intent?

At Proflect, we believe feedback isn’t just about improvement. It’s about awareness, growth, and momentum. When you ask for feedback, you’re not just collecting opinions—you’re building a map of how you’re showing up in the world.

Why You Should Ask for Feedback

• You can’t see your blind spots: No matter how self-aware you are, others see things you don’t.
• You accelerate your growth: Honest feedback gives you the raw material you need to level up faster.
• It builds better relationships: Asking shows humility and trust. It invites collaboration, not correction.
• You stay aligned with your goals: Feedback tied to specific goals helps you course-correct in real time.

Tips for Asking Better Feedback

1. Be specific: Don’t ask “any feedback?” Ask “Do you think I communicated this idea clearly?” or “How did I handle that meeting?”
2. Make it timely: The closer to the moment, the better. Don’t wait for perfect timing.
3. Ask the right people: Choose people who will be honest, not just nice.
4. Normalize it: Make feedback a habit, not a high-stakes event.
5. Connect it to your goals: With Proflect, you can link feedback to the specific goal you’re working on—so it becomes actionable, not abstract.

Final Thought: Asking for feedback doesn’t make you look weak. It shows you’re serious about growing. Start small. Ask one trusted person today: “What’s one thing you think I could do better?” You might be surprised how powerful that simple question can be.
