“ The truth is feedback isn't supposed to feel comfortable. Growth is never comfortable. If you can learn to take feedback without letting it throw you and if you can hear it, process it, and take what's useful without getting defensive, you'll rise faster than you ever imagined.”

In this episode, I talk about getting feedback from your boss, especially when it’s a tough pill to swallow. Every leader will face this no matter where they are in their career, so I’m sharing some tools to help you navigate this situation when it arises without getting defensive or letting it derail your confidence or motivation.

In this episode:

• A time when I got some feedback that upset me
• Tool #1:  Catch your emotional reaction and don't let it drive you
• Tool #2:  Ask yourself, What's the real message here?
• Tool #3: Don't dismiss feedback just because you don't like it
• Tool #4:  Separate feedback from your self-worth
• Tool #5:  Decide. Do I need to act on this or let it go?
• And more!
