Feedback at Foothill isn’t just reactive, it’s a part of our culture. From coaching, team huddles and team training, we actively give and receive feedback. Encouraging feedback raises self-awareness, which fosters personal growth and sharpens skills. Avoiding feedback protects fear, sustains insecurities and dulls our development. On the other side, we won’t be moved from our values to vanity or overconfidence by positive feedback or flowery language.
The ear that listens to life-giving reproof, will dwell among the wise. Whoever ignores instruction despises himself, but he who listens to reproof gains intelligence. Proverbs 15:31-32 (ESV)
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. Proverbs 27:6 (ESV)
