Receiving feedback is not something most people enjoy, but it is a necessary skill to learn. Embracing feedback can help you grow and develop into the best version of yourself. This episode provides practical tips to help you receive feedback in a mature and positive way.

Transformation Tip: “Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body and it calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.” - Winston Churchill

Receiving feedback Principles:

• This isn’t easy - we are sensitive
• Remember the concept of blind spots
• Need to have a growth mindset
  • Look at criticism as a teaching moment that will ultimately help you upgrade yourself
  • Allow yourself to come out of your comfort zone
• Always remember that the person giving you this feedback usually has your best interest at heart

Tips for receiving feedback

• Thank the person who is giving your feedback
• Don't be afraid to ask for clarification or an example
• Respond, don’t react
• Even if you disagree, work to find a way to filter out the truth
• Ask that person for practical ways that you can address the feedback they have given you

Transformation application: On a scale of 1-10 how well do you embrace feedback? If you rate yourself at 6 or lower, ask yourself why you find it hard to receive feedback.
