The Culture Matters Podcast

On today's episode of The Culture Matters Podcast, our very own Jay Doran is back to talk about a culture theme that no one really enjoys and that is negative feedback.  Just because someone gives you negative feedback on something doesn't mean that what you are working on or the direction you are going needs to come to a halt.  Use that feedback to fuel your growth not just in what you are working on, but in your personal growth as well.  Learn to listen and act accordingly.
