Description

Why does receiving negative feedback feel so personal—especially for high achievers? In this powerful episode of the Leadership Launchpad, we break down the neuroscience behind why feedback can trigger emotional shutdowns, and how to rewire your mindset to use it as fuel for your growth.


Whether you're a corporate leader, athlete, or ambitious professional, learning how to receive feedback without spiralling is the key to becoming a conscious, resilient, high performer.


🔍 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why receiving negative feedback triggers fixed mindset patterns

  • How high achievers unconsciously block feedback—and how to change that

  • The science of mindset: fixed mindset vs. growth mindset

  • How to shift into curiosity and openness during feedback conversations

  • The emotional intelligence strategies that help you stay grounded and responsive

  • Why feedback is your most underused performance accelerator

⚡ If you’re serious about growth, leadership, or becoming your next-level self, this conversation is your roadmap.
