Receiving feedback can be both challenging and transformative. This workshop explores why feedback is essential for personal and professional growth, yet often difficult to process. Many of us struggle to embrace feedback constructively, as it can sometimes feel uncomfortable, personal, or even critical. However, learning to receive feedback well is a powerful skill that enables us to identify our blind spots, enhance our strengths, and foster stronger relationships. In this session, we’ll delve into the psychology behind why feedback can feel difficult and examine techniques to build resilience and openness. Participants will explore common traps to receiving feedback, learn practical strategies that help manage emotional reaction and listen actively, and identify positive steps forward even from tough feedback.
