In the workplace, many people express frustration about needing more feedback.
Often, they crave appreciation more than advice. It's usually said that all advice is rooted in personal experience. While data is essential, understanding its context and interpretation is crucial.
Focus on your passions, ideas, and role models to improve your growth. Stay calm and avoid overthinking criticism.
Seek out constructive feedback and view it as an opportunity for growth. Take helpful criticism to heart and reframe unfair criticism as misguided praise. Remember that your work does not define your worth, and keep moving forward.
The aim is to separate emotions, story, and feedback to identify what is relevant. Our interpretation of feedback provides valuable perspective.
