With critical tips like this, mastering the ability to receive feedback is a determining factor in achieving career aspirations, and this episode provides valuable insights in this regard.

Glade Holman is an expert in helping people grow through feedback. He believes that in order for people to grow, they need feedback because they cannot see themselves through their own eyes. However, not everyone has access to expert feedback givers. And although organizations spend time, effort, and money training people how to give feedback, Glade believes that the best way to train someone how to give feedback is to first teach them how to receive it. Glade's focus is on helping people learn how to gather feedback and use it regardless of the expertise of the person giving it. He believes that learning to receive feedback well makes it much easier to give it. Glade thinks that organizations miss the boat when they spend all of their time training people how to give feedback, and that the emphasis should be on teaching people how to receive it.

The Importance of Learning to Receive Feedback: "To me, it's the determining factor of your rate of progress and of your actually achieving your aspirations or not is your ability to receive feedback. And if you can learn that earlier, all the more power to you, because you're much more likely to achieve what you'd like to out of your career."

How to Give Constructive Criticism: "Anything I can do that makes it more likely for them to let it get into their head where they can work with it. I'll do. And people are much more open to advice than they are to criticism."
