Everyone always has something to say about what you’re doing. Whether it’s a client, a friend, a family member, or a stranger, there’s always someone who has an opinion about you or something you’ve done. Most people look at the feedback they’re getting as being a reflection of the feelings the person giving the feedback has towards them. What if we told you it’s not the person giving the feedback that makes it positive or negative, but rather, you as the person receiving it? What if you could take any piece of feedback, and receive it in a positive way? In a conversation with Mo Ismail, Chris opens up about some of his history with receiving feedback - How he reacted (whether rightly or wrongly), and the tools he now uses to process feedback, from being cognizant of his own emotional state, to reinterpreting things into non violent language, and more. They’ll also discuss how our subjective lens often distorts the slender sliver of objective truth, leading us to form stories that may or may not serve us well. Chris takes Mo through his journey to better understand his own reactions to others. Mo also sums a lot of this method up in the anagram DAPPER, which makes for a concise and easy to remember take away from a deep and impactful conversation. Learn more about your ad choices.
