STOP Being DEFENSIVE, Embrace FEEDBACK

While interviewing fighter pilot and bestselling author Carey Lorenz, we talked about people who get defensive when receiving feedback. Rather than get defensive, ask yourself, "Is there truth in what someone is saying?" Sometimes there is merit, and other times, one should be wary of who it is coming from and their agenda? Are they qualified to be giving such feedback? Even if they are not necessarily "qualified," is it possible that the information is true and could be beneficial? Either way, as you seek to be more effective, consider the information with curiosity rather than rejecting it out of hand. How could the new information benefit your life by you making an adjustment in thoughts or actions? Embracing feedback is a sign of someone who has high self-esteem and a feeling of self-worth.
