22. Advice & Feedback: Critics, Coaches, or Cheerleaders: Who's Really Helping You Grow


Listen Later

Imagine if every piece of advice you've ever received came with a "best before" date or a truthfulness rating. ๐ŸŒŸ From the gems that push you to greatness to the ones that make you wonder if you're secretly being pranked, navigating advice can feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack... while blindfolded.

The Avalanche of Unsolicited Wisdom
Ever felt bombarded by advice from all corners, including from people you're pretty sure don't even know your last name? It's like everyone's suddenly an expert on your life, career, and whether you should be drinking oat milk or almond milk for optimum health.

The Three Crucial Questions to Ask Yourself

Before taking any advice to heart, consider: Does this person genuinely care about me, or are they just enjoying the sound of their own wisdom? Do they actually have expertise in what they're advising on, or did they just watch a documentary last night? And crucially, do they understand my situation, or are they giving me advice meant for a reality TV show contestant?
