How to Receive Feedback You Don’t Agree With

Getting feedback is easy when you agree with it (especially if it’s positive!). It’s much harder to receive feedback when your gut is in complete disagreement. It can be difficult to stay in the moment, listen, and process information when we want to reject the message entirely. It can be even more complicated to respond in a way that protects both the relationship and your credibility. In this free webinar, we’ll cover why disagreement triggers defensiveness, how you can separate your reactions from your responses, and we’ll provide you with some concrete tips on what to do when you’ve heard the feedback but still don’t think it’s accurate.

In this webinar you’ll:

• Understand why feedback that feels unfair or wrong can still be worth sitting with
• Recognize your own defensive patterns and what they signal
• Distinguish between feedback you need to act on, feedback you can push back on, and feedback you can set aside
• Respond to difficult feedback in the moment without shutting down
• Know when and how to advocate for yourself after receiving feedback
