Feedback, Asking for
Asking for feedback is a significant step toward reaching your potential. However, taking that initial step for the first time is uncomfortable, and we might already be worried about failure. Fear not; @Mridula Ujjwal provides the following thought guide to help you get started asking for feedback.

Context
What is the context of the feedback desired?
About technical, functional, or behavioral skills, or about a specific situation, or following up on past feedback and wanting to know now how you’re doing
Audience
