Reframing Feedback: From Perplexed to Progress
For high achievers, feedback can feel like a double-edged sword. We crave it to grow, yet we often interpret it as a threat to our identity. Why? Because we’ve built our success around certain strengths, and anything that challenges them feels personal.
Let’s talk about feedback.
For high achievers, feedback can feel like a double-edged sword. We crave it to grow, yet we often interpret it as a threat to our identity. Why? Because we’ve built our success around certain strengths—and anything that challenges them feels personal.
But what if feedback isn’t a judgment? What if it’s a mirror—reflecting where we’re ready to evolve?
In my keynote, “The Hidden Cost of Being ‘Good’,” I offer strategies to reframe feedback as a catalyst for growth:
Separate identity from performance
Spot the patterns in repeated feedback
Use discomfort as a signal, not a stop sign
When we shift our mindset, feedback becomes fuel. It helps us break through the ceilings we didn’t even know we had.
If this resonates, I’d love to bring these insights to your team or event. Let’s turn feedback into forward momentum.
