Overview/Description

The word “feedback” might make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Many people think of feedback as a threat. Even positive feedback can seem like an attack. Our egos and self-esteem tell us to shut down and drown it out. But feedback is a necessary part of professional growth and development. With a positive mindset, you can stay calm, take feedback on board, and use it to improve your performance and further your career.

In this course, you will explore how receiving feedback differs from receiving simple praise or criticism. You will learn how listening to genuinely constructive feedback with a positive mindset can influence your reactions and responses. You will also learn how applying feedback can catalyze your professional growth and self-development.
