Andrew Pain – Negative Feedback

Navigating the turbulent waters of negative feedback is a challenge that everyone faces at some point in their lives.

Andrew dives deep into understanding the emotional journey most individuals undergo when they encounter such feedback. Initially, there’s the gut punch of the initial shock. This is when emotions run high, ranging from surprise to defensiveness.

As the dust settles, the phase of reflection takes precedence. Individuals grapple with the feedback, turning it over in their minds, weighing its truth, and sometimes battling the urge to outright reject it.

Key Takeaways from Andrew Pain:

  • The four phases most people experience when they receive negative feedback.
  • A powerful visualisation tool to help you process negative feedback as painlessly and quickly as possible.
  • The two questions to ask yourself in order to strip out the helpful stuff from the unhelpful stuff.
