Feedback Jiu-Jitsu: The Art & Science of Receiving Feedback
How to Receive Feedback for Personal and Professional Growth (and why receiving well is the key to giving well)
Description
We all receive feedback, but we can't control who gives it to us. For that reason, you’re likely better off investing in how to receive feedback than in how to give it.
Why Is Feedback So Difficult?
If you're like most people, feedback can be difficult to receive, and it doesn’t always come from people who are good at giving feedback. Even if you already know that receiving feedback is important to both your personal and professional development, you're probably still left wondering "Why is receiving feedback so difficult and anxiety-ridden, and how can I get better at making use of the feedback I receive?”
