Feedback…The Breakfast of Championships

"When people give you honest constructive criticism, don't be so thin-skinned.

Here's what feedback can do:

·        Give you the information you need to self-correct.

·        Let you know and analyze ahead of time what proper moves to make before you do something inappropriate, self-defeating, illegal, immoral, or displeasing.

·        Let you get a grip on your life and avoid self-defeating behavior.

·        Help educate you to what changes you might make for improving your chances for success and happiness.

·        Give you the power of self-knowledge.

·        Give you another tool to 'fix it' when stuff happens (Alston & Thaxton, 2003, p. 100)."

How well do you handle feedback?
