Think about the most recent feedback you received: How did you react? Graciously How did you feel? motivated Why do you think you reacted and feel that way? Because I want feedback to be better. What would you do differently after having watched the video? Thanked them.
Last time when I received a feedback, I was angry and I immediately reacted and defended myself, giving facts and data. I felt this way as I worked rally hard and as per the industry standard the results that I delivered were way beyond exceed expectations.
After watching the video, I would have stay clam and listened to the feedback objectively. I would have appreciated the feedback and would have stated that – as per the industry standards the results are way beyond exceed expectations but I would like to get you advise on what could have been done better and would have discussed the ideas and follow ups.

hm, maybe my memory is bad but one piece of feedback I could think of was when I bypassed a censored word that I thought was harmless, and got told not to do that. Even though it was a small reminder, I suddenly felt really anxious, as I felt that it went against the identity and trustworthiness I wanted to express at 7cups. Outwardly I thanked the person for the reminder and continued on with the conversation. I think I still need to reinforce the fact that mistakes are inevitable and that feedback is not a personal attack, and that I won't be permanently viewed negatively as long as I am genuine and continually improve.
Hello there!
Honestly, I do not mind at all receiving any critical Feedback. So i was just accepting How things are for other people and i knew that this is their perspective, not mine and definitely not objective. So i moved forward, took The best from it.
I reacted this way because I am used to criticism and Feedback since childhood (of course in a healthy ways along with healthy not hurtful boundaries).
I think i wouldnt do anything differently because i can handle efficiently These types of situations.
Sending strenght and energy!
Lots of love,

@Livingtohelplive this is a great perspective <3 it's very important to learn from feedback and it's true that it's also important to listen to + understand the point of views of others :)

Ans. Honestly, after getting that feedback, I felt i need to know what i have done wrong so i asked them directly, that's not a good feeling. I reacted as i felt i have done nothing wrong at all. I will try to stay calm and listen carefully so that i can understand why they feel that way.
@rriyad it takes time to accept feedback and that is completely normal ! <3 it's good that you recognize this and you are doing a great job !!
@Heather225
How did you react? unbiased How did you feel? good Why do you think you reacted and feel that way? I suppose prior experience. What would you do differently after having watched the video? Watch how I frame feedback.
@MinisterMichelle experience from receiving constructive criticism and feedback can really help to make us more accepting of it :) <3 i can see what you mean !
@Heather225
when i received feedback recently, i responded well to it ! i've really practiced accepting constructive criticism and learning from it <3 :) i used to really hate it and would get upset by it a few years ago, but now it makes me happy and appreciative. i think i reacted that way through practice and self-growth ! after watching the video, i probably would've asked for more and i'll remember to continue to keep it in mind in order to improve my skills
@Heather225
It was about the response time I didn't react I knew it was coming
I am always thankful for constructive criticism, it helps us learn and grow so why not
I didn't react much because I knew I was trying new things and it takes time so it's ok I have always believe there is scope for improvement everywhere it just reinstated that on the brightside feedback doesn't reflect my worth.

After watching the video I think I would just take any feedback as a chance for growth and re-analyse myself
Think about the most recent feedback you received:
How did you react? We had a nice and helpful conversation. I thanked them for their feedback and the time they spent talking with me. I then did some work they recommended.
How did you feel? I was disappointed/mad at myself and kinda shut down afterward. I felt that I wasn't enough. I felt that I had let others down and was embarrassed.
Why do you think you reacted and felt that way?
I think that initially I reacted okie and was open to feedback because that's normally how I would treat someone. They were also kind about giving me the feedback so that was very nice/helpful and definitely made being receptive to the feedback a lot easier. I think that afterward, I felt really bad about it because I am hard on myself and don't want to let others down.
What would you do differently after having watched the video?
People have good intentions with giving feedback (and it's not easy to give it either!) But they are only trying to help you get better. It's not meant to hurt me or bring me down. There is always room to grow and improve.
@Heather225
Think about the most recent feedback you received: How did you react? Thank them. How did you feel? Grateful Why do you think you reacted and felt that way? Because I appreciate feedback, What would you do differently after having watched the video? I would still be grateful and thank them.
