EP204: Receiving Feedback Well
Description
In this episode, I'm flipping the feedback conversation and focusing on the receiver instead of the giver.
As leaders, we're constantly told how to deliver clear, meaningful feedback—but we're also on the receiving end from bosses, boards, peers, and our own teams. How we receive feedback is just as critical as how we give it.
I'll walk you through:
-
Why feedback really matters for growth, confidence, and performance
-
The five cornerstones of effective feedback (curiosity, mindset, cognitive bias, active listening, and communication preferences)
-
Common barriers that get in the way of receiving feedback well
-
How our emotions and communication styles (including Insights Discovery color energies) influence our reactions
-
A simple mindset shift to move from self-protection to self-expansion using curiosity
You'll leave this episode with practical ways to stay grounded, open, and intentional when feedback finds you—whether it's in a formal review, a casual comment, or even an eye roll from your teenager. The magic isn't in getting feedback; it's in what you choose to do with it.
Enjoy!
