Identity Triggers: Who Tells Your Story?

October 17, 2017October 17, 2017 | aaliff

Several factors can cause us to reject instantaneously the feedback we receive. Sometimes the feedback strikes us as off-base, incorrect, or uniformed, causing a truth trigger. Other times we think their opinions or preconceptions of us are unfairly coloring their observations, causing a relationship trigger. And then there are times where what you are told violates a core belief you have about yourself. We call our reaction to this an identity trigger. What the other person is saying feels fundamentally

Accepter le feedback : le positif, le négatif, et le reste (première partie)

October 12, 2017October 12, 2017 | aaliff

(Article d’origine publié le 9 mai 2017 par Erin Leonard, traduit par Morgane Costaire) Si l’on se demande comment fournir un retour efficace après un événement, les articles sont nombreux. Il n’en est pas de même lorsqu’il s’agit de recevoir ce retour. Les arbitres font beaucoup d’efforts pour fournir un feedback de qualité au travers des reviews, des nominations exemplar ou lors d’une simple conversation. Qu’en faisons-nous après l’avoir reçu ? Parfois nous pouvons

Avenues for Local Feedback

September 26, 2017July 25, 2017 | aaliff

However, all it really takes to have meaningful feedback is to have a conversation with someone else about a way one of you could improve. This person could be a player, a tournament organizer, or even a judge who was nowhere near your event. Let’s dig into some of these ideas, and how you can leverage them in your community.

If I Could Change One Thing About Feedback

September 12, 2017September 13, 2017 | aaliff

Changing your perception of feedback isn’t something that happens because you read an article. It happens because you make a positive choice for the future in how you wish to leave your mark on the program.

Accepter le feedback : le positif, le négatif, et le reste (troisième partie)

June 25, 2017October 25, 2017 | cixidetroy

Le feedback positif se réfère à nos points forts et le feedback négatif à ce que nous pourrions améliorer. Il nous reste à nous intéresser au feedback déroutant, difficile à comprendre ou simplement faux. Que pouvons-nous faire de ce feedback ? Le manque de clarté est un obstacle à l’utilisation efficace de ce retour. Demander des éclaircissements. Le feedback n’est pas gravé dans la pierre, c’est un processus en constant renouvellement. Il ne faut pas hésiter à demander

At the end of Saturday at SCG Baltimore, I reviewed my notebook in amazement at the number of complex calls I had taken. Calls that made me wonder about the motivations of players who shuffled an opponent’s library when counting how many cards remained in the library. Played an through their own on 1. Used a to find a . Twice. The event felt like a series of one investigation after another. Where did they all come from? In GP Richmond a few weeks earlier, calls seemed much simpler. Were

Accepting Feedback: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Part 3)

June 13, 2017June 12, 2017 | morgauss

We’ve talked about “good” and “bad” feedback as being things we did well and things we can work on, but what about when you get “ugly” feedback? The kind when someone says something that is confusing, difficult to conceptualize, or just plain wrong. What do you do with feedback like that? It’s hard to know how to address it or how to utilize it when the feedback itself is unclear. Ask for clarification. Feedback isn’t set in stone – it’s an ongoing process. Don’t be
