Criticism can sting.
But if you can learn not to take it personally, it’s a powerful tool for growth.
Here’s how to turn feedback into success:
𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱. Instead of going into defensive mode, breathe. Truly listen. Understand their perspective.
𝗦𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁. Feeling emotional? It’s normal. Focus on the facts. What can you improve?
𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Unclear feedback? Ask specifics. Details help you grow. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰. Thanking someone shows maturity. It shows kindness. Encourages future honesty.
𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻. Reflect on the criticism. Create a plan to improve. 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱. Learn from it. Adjust. Move forward with confidence.
𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘁. 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘁!
𝗣𝗦: Do you show kindness when offering feedback to others?
