Here's how you can handle feedback without getting defensive or taking it personally.

Active listening is crucial when receiving feedback. It means fully concentrating on the speaker, understanding their message, and responding thoughtfully. When you're on the receiving end, make an effort to quiet your internal dialogue and resist the urge to formulate a response while the other person is still speaking. This allows you to absorb the full context of what's being shared and demonstrates respect for the person providing the feedback. By focusing on listening first, you show that you value their input and are willing to consider their perspective. This approach fosters a more productive and respectful feedback environment.

Listening helps to overcome. Active listening is important while receiving a feedback. Concentrate on wht is being shared, don't be in a hurry, take a pause and don't try to jump on conclusions. Don't run into a defensive mode, give space to your own self to accept & reflect on the feedback received. Be respectful to the feedback giver. Be open and attentive through out.

To handle feedback without getting defensive or taking it personally, start by listening actively and keeping an open mind. Pause before responding to process the feedback calmly. Separate your emotions from the feedback and focus on the constructive aspects. Ask clarifying questions to fully understand the feedback and its underlying reasons. Practice empathy, considering the perspective of the giver. Reflect on the feedback objectively, acknowledging areas for improvement. Thank the giver for their input, showing appreciation for their honesty. Use the feedback as an opportunity for growth and continuous learning.

Handling feedback constructively is a cornerstone of personal and professional development. By adopting a growth mindset, practicing active listening, and focusing on understanding rather than defending, you can transform feedback from a potential source of conflict into a powerful tool for self-improvement.

Once the person has provided their feedback, you can take a few different steps to reflect. 1. Thank them for their feedback and tell them that you need a moment to reflect if you wish to continue the conversation. You can always ask clarifying questions. 2. If you wish to end the discussion so you have private time to reflect you can say, "This is valuable feedback. Would you mind if I take some time to think about it before continuing the conversation?"

Respeite o próprio tempo para retornar com uma resposta e conseguir consumir o feedback de maneira madura. Nunca pense ou reaja no imeato momento que o feedback surgiu. Agradeça e tenha seu tempo de qualidade para processar a informação. Faça uma reunião consigo mesmo para entender, se questione: - Faz sentido? (Com honestidade) - Papel aceita tudo, anote os pontos que você identificar em si mesmo que façam sentido com o que for trazido (ninguém vai ver, seja sincero). - Se fizer sentido, como pode mapear o processo de melhorar? - Como usar esse feedback para evoluir ainda mais? - O que você está aprendendo com isso? - Agradeça pelo feedback e depois de um tempo, sendo pertinente, informe que viu valor e isso motivou a você repensar.

When receiving feedback, seeking clarification on any ambiguous points demonstrates active listening and a desire to fully understand the message. Asking open-ended questions like "Can you elaborate on...?" or "How do you see this being implemented?" fosters a deeper conversation and avoids misunderstandings. This not only benefits your own comprehension but also shows the feedback provider that their input is valued and will be carefully considered.

My first response to any feedback is "Thank you". Feedback is always a gift. Its an opportunity to feel good for something done well (positive) or an opportunity to reflect and learn about yourself (negative). Once I have clarified the feedback, I take the time to go and think about it. What did I do that was commented upon? What was my intention? Could I have done things differently? If my intention was good and the delivery was not, I improve. If my intention was not clear and therefore I acted in a way that was not acceptable, then try to see how I can be clear to myself before starting something new. In any case, the feedback is an opportunity for me to improve. The ego doesnt come in the way to get hurt.

Tenha cuidado em construir um plano de evolução mensurável, com metas claras e acionáveis. Não mapeie apenas o que é conceitual, mapeie pontos que se tornam ações e estipule prazos e metas nesse processo.
