What's the Best Way to Give and Receive Advice? - Shower Thoughts 🚿 ep. 06

Getting It

In this Shower Thoughts episode we try to get to the bottom of what entails good advice. We discuss the nuances of giving good, effective feedback and advice, as well as maximising the opportunity when one is the recipient.

In Shower Thoughts we overthink those random questions and life-changing thoughts we frequently have in the shower and maybe come to a conclusion, all in a casual conversation.

Key discussion points in this episode:

• Basic principles of giving advice and feedback
• How we go about giving advice
• Learning yourself from the feedback that you're giving
• Prefacing advice
• The importance of fully explaining yourself when giving advice
• Asking questions to assess whether what they did well was intentional or fluke

What is Getting It?: In a Nutshell
A conversation where we explore topics both familiar and unfamiliar to us to find out what makes them interesting, so that we can expand our horizons and further our understanding of the world and people around us.
From science to lifestyle design, languages to religion, plus everything in between - anything can be interesting if exposed to you through the right lens. We hope to spark your curiosity through open-minded and thoughtful discussion, as well as a healthy dose of overthinking.
