| Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
With our Quest program coming to a close and the Big Sandy Conference over the moment is ripe for feedback. If we want to get better at anything, we need to reality test how we are doing now. Feedback is a powerful accelerator for growth.
1. Be proactive in asking for feedback, and if you’re a leader, insist on it.
2. Prime the feedback pump with disclosure. (Acknowledging areas you want to grow and asking for help.)
3. Beware of feedback triggers that could limit your ability to engage: truth, relationship, and identity. (The truth trigger is based on our perception of the validity of the content itself. To overcome the truth trigger, start by asking, “What if this is true?” The relationship trigger is connected to the source of the feedback. To overcome the relationship trigger, ask, “Who could help me reality test this feedback?” The identity trigger is related to the target of the feedback — me. To overcome the identity trigger, affirm, “I am not my ideas or performance, this feedback isn’t a rejection of me.”)
4. Categorize feedback so you can analyze it: appreciation, coaching, and evaluation. Appreciation is a way of saying, “I see you. You are valued.” Coaching says, “I want to help you grow.” Evaluation says, “Here’s how you are doing.”
5. Turn feedback into feedforward actions.

| Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
Lt. Hawley is at the Northwoods Conference Center this week with ERT doing a service project. The rest of battalion is continuing in class and other responsibilities as normal. Next week, the Tech Rescue unit and two of the CST guys will be also heading to Northwoods to do some further work up there and ERT will begin their dive training. Please continue to pray for soft hearts for each of us, and for the leadership to be godly examples and point the men to Christ.
