Ever notice how we train leaders to give feedback but rarely teach them how to receive it?
Also: did you know 70% of people feel uncomfortable receiving feedback, and 37% avoid it altogether? If you've ever felt that pit in your stomach when someone says "Can I give you some feedback?" you know what I am talking about. This episode got personal because I am definitely in the 70%.
Pam Schmidt and Organizational Development expert and owner of Pam Schimdt Consulting breaks down why feedback often feels threatening, how power dynamics silence honest input as leaders rise in organizations, and practical strategies for receiving criticism without becoming defensive. You'll learn:
- Why traditional feedback models fall short
- How to prepare yourself emotionally for feedback conversations
- When to trust feedback (and when to discard it)
- The powerful "2% rule" for finding value in even the most questionable feedback
If you can master this, you will transform feedback from something to dread into a valuable tool for professional development!
