Unit 2:
Feedback and Discipline
“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”
Have you ever thought about the importance of feedback and discipline in our career?
Feedback is essential for growth and improvement. It provides us with valuable insights into our performance, behaviour, and actions. Whether it’s constructive criticism or positive feedback, we should use it as a tool for self-improvement helping us understand what we’re doing well and where we need to make changes.
Discipline is another key factor in achieving success. It requires self-control and determination. Discipline helps us stay focused on our goals.It’s about making the right choices and taking the necessary actions to move forward. Start by setting clear goals and creating a plan to achieve them. Stay organised, prioritise tasks, and hold yourself accountable for your actions. Remember that discipline is not about punishment but about creating a structure that supports your growth and development.
