There is no failure, ONLY feedback

In Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) there are a number of presuppositions. These are assumptions or beliefs that are adopted. By adopting a number of beliefs or assumptions in NLP it assists in improving a person’s results whether in business, education, or personally.

One of these assumptions is related to feedback. The assumption is: “there is no failure, ONLY feedback”. In any situation, whether at work or personally, you should always welcome feedback, as by accepting feedback, you are going to improve your behaviour and by improving your behaviour in any situation or event you will get far better results. If everything that happens is only feedback then it means that we are all learning machines, throughout your life no matter what you are doing, you are learning, receiving feedback and using that feedback to gain better results.

As an example, if you are communicating with a colleague or your partner and you are not getting the response you want, what should you do? You should change your communication as in any situation there is no failure, there is only feedback. Feedback is all about learning and by learning you create better results.

What feedback have you received today and can use in your life to achieve improved results?
