Feedback

Feedback is good....


Listen and absorb the feedback, even when it stings. Stay silent, and stop judging what you’re hearing or reading for now. Let it settle before you act, and think carefully before you reject it.
Stay open and ask yourself “is this true for me?”. You are what you believe, and if you’re willing to change your beliefs, new worlds can open. What you are reacting to is simply others’ perceptions of your behavior. What beliefs are keeping you from really absorbing their message?

Become curious about the feedback you receive. Sometimes this is enough to stave off defensiveness. The questions you ask yourself or others about their perceptions may assist you in recognizing that you may need to change.
