259| Where People Go Wrong When Asking for Feedback
Nichole is back after a break, with a life update: she is expecting her third daughter and easing back into recording. In this episode, she gets real about a recent moment where she asked for feedback the wrong way, even though it is a topic she coaches on all the time. She breaks down exactly what went wrong, why vague feedback requests rarely get you anywhere, and how to ask in a way that actually gets you something useful. She also covers what to do with feedback you do not agree with, and why timing matters more than most people realize, especially after a rejection. What You'll Learn Why asking "what could I be working on?" is too vague to get helpful feedback The exact phrasing to use instead, so your ask is specific and actionable Why feedback tied to something from months or years ago can still catch you off guard, and what to do with it What "good" feedback actually feels like, and why it is not always sunshine and rainbows How to handle feedback you do not agree with, without dismissing it outright Why asking for feedback immediately after a rejection is the wrong move, and what to do instead How following up on feedback, on your own initiative, sets you apart from almost everyone else Key Moments [00:03:00] Nichole shares a recent experience where she asked a senior leader for feedback on a potential future role, and where her ask fell short. [00:07:00] Why company-wide feedback requests often turn into a pile-up of unrelated complaints, and what that reveals about how most people think of the word "feedback." [00:07:30] A moment where Nichole received feedback tied to something from her first few months at the company, two and a half years later. [00:09:00] How to reframe a vague feedback request into a specific one, using real language you can borrow. [00:11:00] What to do when you get feedback you do not fully agree with, and why she still calls feedback a gift. [00:12:30] Why asking for feedback the moment you get turned down for a role almost never works in your favor. [00:14:00] The follow-up strategy Nichole used as a hiring leader, and why so few candidates actually followed through, and what that means for you. Quotable "Feedback is feedback. It is a gift, so we're gonna take it and run with it and figure out what we can do with it from there." "Don't be like me. Don't go in and ask for vague feedback because you're probably not gonna get what you're looking for."
