Description
Have you ever received critical feedback that felt like a gut punch and wished you responded differently? You're not alone. Receiving tough feedback is like being told your zipper is down. You can probably benefit from knowing, but it's still embarrassing. It stings because we're professionals who want to do our best, and someone just pointed out a growth area. This can happen in the office, with colleagues, or at home.
Learning you're not at the top of your game never feels good. This session teaches you how to receive tough feedback with grace, and what to do with it once you have.
Objectives:
1. Explain why receiving critical feedback is essential for personal and professional growth.
2. Identify the benefits of feedback and how it builds trust and performance.
3. Recognize their emotional responses and manage their mindset before, during, and after feedback.
4. Practice strategies for receiving and responding to feedback with curiosity and confidence.
5. Apply learnings to build feedback resilience.
