How to Take Feedback When It Feels Like Criticism!

Описание: Feedback is supposed to help us grow. But sometimes it lands harsh, personal, and unfair.

In this Mindset Monday episode, we break down how to take feedback when it feels like criticism, without damaging your confidence, your reputation, or your working relationships.

Using a realistic workplace scenario, we explore why feedback often feels personal even when it isn’t, how stress and pressure affect delivery, and why defensiveness makes situations worse instead of better.

You’ll learn how to separate tone from useful information, what to say in the moment to keep conversations productive, and how to build resilience without becoming hardened or disengaged at work.

This episode is for anyone who wants to grow professionally, handle difficult conversations better, and stay confident even when feedback stings.
