Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs [FFL 242] How to Tune Out Annoying Feedback
According to Ken Blanchard, "Feedback is the breakfast of champions." While dealing with supportive and genuinely constructive feedback is productive, learning to deal with annoying feedback takes discipline and practice. Mastering the art of tuning out this negativity is what makes the difference between a runner-up and a champion.
On today's episode, I want to share five strategies that will help you tune out annoying feedback. I talk about the criteria of an annoying feedback and how to cope with it so it won't get in the way of your productivity or keep you from moving forward.
"Feedback is sometimes a reflection of the other person's own worldview."
