Does receiving feedback make you feel instantly defensive, embarrassed, or like you’ve done something terribly wrong?

In this Coaching Hotline episode, I answer two listener questions about how to handle criticism at work and how to know when you’ve coached yourself “correctly.” You’ll learn how to manage your mind around feedback, understand why feeling defensive is optional, and recognize that sometimes the answers you already have are the ones you need to keep practicing.

Submit your own question here and it might get answered on a future episode: unfuckyourbrain.com/coachinghotline
