LASER !!! - My analogy Present with a Purpose.
What is keeping you from focusing?
What is one of my barriers that keep me from connecting to ..

Once that is gone...
We can shine light on a broad spectrum
and
Focus with pin point precision to be an INFLUENCER.

Using the Four Types of Feedback Effectively
by KEVIN EIKENBERRY on FEBRUARY 14, 2011 in COMMUNICATION, DEVELOPING OTHERS, LEADERSHIP, LEARNING
The Four Types of Feedback
Negative feedback, or corrective comments about past behavior.
These are things that didn’t go well.
Positive feedback, or affirming comments about past behavior.
These are things that went well and need to be repeated.
Negative feedforward, or corrective comments about future behavior.
These are things that don’t need to be repeated next time.
Positive feedforward, or affirming comments about future behavior.
These are things that would improve performance in the future.
The distinction that is largely missing for most people is the focus on the future or feedforward.
How to Give Effective Feedback to Your Students by Susan M. Brookhart
Chapter 2. Types of Feedback and Their Purposes
Choosing Feedback Content
Choosing the content of your feedback involves choices about focus, comparison, function, and valence. Because any feedback message embodies choices about all of these things at once, the examples address all four factors together
- Focus
- Comparison
- Function
- Valence

The First - Hot or Go system - blood and run
The second - cool or known system - helps us thrive not just survive
C- Act Like An Influencer (page 138)
Rather than ruminating on their fears, they thought about positive potential consequences...
