Feedback and credibility

I am deeply thinking about feedback. In my training classes, I am teaching feedback, and advanced feedback. Accepting feedback is a good way to start learning how to improve a current position.

I don't say that I need to accept every bit of feedback. Sometimes, it is not possible to integrate all of the feedback provided in my life. In this case, I can accept a bit of it, as long as it fits into my lfie and the current circumstances, or I don't need to.

But I was thinking over the past couple of days and weeks and realised one thing more and more. The willingness and my openness I accept feedback is very much dependent on who is giving feedback.

If I can respect the person and see that the person fully lives his or her own medicine - walks the talk him- or herself - I listen and be fully open and appreciative of the feedback. In fact, I really search for feedback. I am thirsty for the learning that feedback provides. I can accept feedback from a person whose normal lifestyle, opinion, or way of going about thigs I don't accept. Even someone that I don't like! In fact, these are then the areas where I learn the most! Because they make me think outside of my current comfort zone.

But when I look at the person and there is something missing - the part that we can call credibility - then I have a sour taste in my mouth and it becomes very hard to accept the feedback.

Credibility is defined as "the believability of a statement, action, or source, and the propensity of the observer to believe that statement". This fits. I like it!! If someone walks the talk, lives his or her beliefs with passion and conviction, and provides me with feedback, I can check it and accept or reject it. But I realised that it is hard for me to accept feedback from those that just lecture, but don't live their own medicine.

What do you think?
