Thanks Harper Carpenter for having me on the panel for “Receiving and Actioning Feedback: A Conversation with Managers“! Today we spoke to over 300 (!!) Amazon summer interns about the importance of feedback and how to navigate the feedback loop during their internship. I was joined by my manager Jill Florant, former intern Siddharth Kale, and his manager Suresh to have an open conversation. The information shared is SO valuable for anyone in their career, not just interns. So, here’s a few takeaways from our panel discussion ➡ Hear feedback from multiple perspectives. Having contributions from diverse voices helps you get a full picture of how you can improve and iterate. Ask for feedback early on! This is also a great way to introduce yourself and develop meaningful relationships within your company. If you receive feedback you disagree with but feel passionate about your stance, it speaks volumes to have data that backs up your decision. Walk into feedback sessions with a positive mindset. People aren’t disagreeing with you for the sake of argument, it’s important to hear others’ opinions and take constructive criticism well. In the end, it’s all about being a team player! Receiving feedback can be intimidating, but approaching it with a constructive outlook will make your impact even greater. If you’re an intern or new grad and want to connect further, I’m always happy to share my experiences 😊
