Feedback That Stings

 

I once received feedback that felt like a punch to the gut. My instinct was to get defensive. Explain. Justify.

Enough to Grow

 

But when I sat with it, I found truth in the sting. Not all of it—but enough to grow. That was a turning point in how I receive feedback.

 

• Breathe Before Reacting.

• Find the Gold.

• Thank the Giver.

What to Learn

 

Not all feedback is kind, but most has something to teach us.

Ask Yourself

 

What’s one piece of hard feedback you’re ready to revisit with curiosity instead of defensiveness?
