The phrase "feedback is a gift" is pretty common in many workplaces. While feedback can be a great way to know how you're doing and to improve, it can also be a bad thing. Many people are terrible at giving feedback, so accepting it all would be a mistake. In this episode I take a look at how to decide whether to accept or reject feedback, and how to use feedback to keep improving. Struggling to accept that feedback you received? Reflect on it using The Useful Thinking Journal. It will help you process your thoughts and feelings and help you do better next time. Interested in working with me?
