Transformation Tip: “Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body and it calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.” - Winston Churchill
Receiving feedback Principles:

- Remember the concept of blind spots
- Need to have a growth mindset
- Look at criticism as a teaching moment that will ultimately help you upgrade yourself

- Always remember that the person giving you this feedback usually has your best interest at heart
Tips for receiving feedback
- Thank the person who is giving your feedback
- Don't be afraid to ask for clarification or an example
- Respond, don’t react
