Do you get defensive when feedback is given? Does it feel like a personal attack on your character, work, or efforts? Feedback can often feel as if someone is picking at our imperfections and as a reaction to this we tend to have a negative view of feedback.

Feedback is one of those areas in emotional intelligence that can help facilitate growth and improvement in all aspects of your life. We discuss how to use it to your advantage and for feedback to not feel like a personal attack. We also recommend how you can enable others to be receptive to feedback. Give it a listen as we help you to open your mind to receiving feedback in a more positive light.
