Why don't we like feedback? | #PERSPECTIVES with Sharon Pearson

Feedback. We know it’s good for us. We know we need it to grow. We know it’s something we need to hear…

So why does feedback usually make us feel a little… icky?

Why do we more often reject it than accept it?

Surely it’s because of the feedback!

It wasn’t on point… they didn’t have all the facts… it’s all criticism… they didn’t know… I never… nobody said… she didn’t…

Breathe. Pause.

Could it be us?

Could it be our relationship with ourselves?

Could it be our conditioning around making mistakes?

What’s the deeper truth here?
