046 | Dealing with criticism: How to identify constructive vs. malicious intent

When is someone attacking you verbally or actually really just trying to help you become better? I'm sure you can think of a recent encounter where someone criticised you - how did you react to it? Nobody enjoys receiving negative feedback, or even GIVE negative feedback to someone else, but the truth is we will always deal with these situations. In this episode we dissect criticism and find out how to identify constructive vs. destructive criticism. We also share 4 steps to give constructive feedback in a positive manner, so as to not hurt the other person's feelings and to avoid them becoming defensive or close themselves off to any new ideas. The episode also covers how to respond when you're on the receiving end of either constructive or destructive criticism.
