Throughout my journey as an engineer input from others has always been vital. Asking for my collogues assessments of my work has really made me aware of my blind spots. 📝

I have been told that I tend to focus on the shinny new thing, sometimes I don’t follow things through, and I miss the level of detail required when providing information. 🗣️ 

Though my first instinct is to defend my position that isn’t always useful. Active listening gets to the heart of the feedback as to explain how I can support my teams better. 👂

By listening to understand, I can gain better awareness of myself and how to better approach the situation next time. 🧠
