I'm trying much more to be an active listener when I'm receiving feedback, but I also need to remember to provide more specific feedback so my team can use it more to learn from.

This course did a great job explaining how to give feedback as well as receive it and the implications for the working relationship and the success of our clients as well. I will start with scheduling more consistent supervision times with my SLPA and modeling relating to feedback and accepting it. Thank you! It was very relevant to me and the work I'm currently doing.
