The Art of Receiving Feedback

Do You Handle Feedback Well?

A lot of people and organizations invest in learning how to give feedback. Why not invest in how to receive it? After all it’s the receiver who needs to act on the feedback.

  • Feedback induces a lot of anxiety
  • People don't seem to give feedback well
  • You're afraid to give constructive feedback, so people don't get the feedback they need to grow
  • You want to be recognized as having a growth mindset
  • You feel stuck or stagnant in your career

How Will You Benefit?

Group at a Training

We all give and receive feedback. Most feedback training focuses on how to give feedback. That is a great skill, but you'll become a better feedback giver as you learn how to receive it. Because none of us can control who gives us feedback or how well they'll do it. Your time and money will be better spent learning how to receive feedback well.

This training will give you:

  • A vision for how beneficial feedback can be and the opportunity it creates
  • An understanding of the neuroscience that helps explain why we tend to react to feedback the way we do
  • Steps to avoid triggers
  • 6 "moves" that will help you receive feedback graciously
  • Tips on why and how to act visibly on feedback

Catching this vision and learning to receive feedback graciously and act on it visibly, regardless of the type of the feedback or quality of delivery, is liberating and can help you take charge of your own career growth.

(The course is on sale for a limited time.)
