Attending conferences can be a rewarding experience, offering opportunities for personal and professional growth. However, it's not uncommon to face criticism or feedback that can feel daunting. Handling such situations with assertiveness is key to maintaining your confidence and composure. Assertiveness, in this context, means expressing your thoughts and defending your work respectfully and confidently without being aggressive or passive.

1 Embrace Positivity

When you receive criticism at a conference, it's essential to approach it with a positive mindset. Instead of viewing feedback as a personal attack, consider it an opportunity for improvement. Listen actively to what's being said, and if the critique is constructive, acknowledge the points that are valid. A positive attitude will not only help you accept helpful suggestions but also project a confident image to your peers.

When you receive criticism at a conference, approach it with a positive mindset. View feedback as an opportunity for improvement rather than a personal attack. Listen actively and acknowledge valid points in constructive critiques. At White Internet Consulting, I embraced this approach during a challenging project review. By seeing feedback as a growth opportunity, I was able to make meaningful improvements and demonstrate resilience. This positive attitude not only helps in accepting useful suggestions but also projects confidence and professionalism to your peers, enhancing your reputation and effectiveness.

2 Stay Calm

Keeping your cool in the face of criticism is crucial. Your body language and tone of voice can speak volumes about your assertiveness. Take deep breaths, maintain eye contact, and speak clearly. By staying calm, you demonstrate that you're in control of the situation and are taking the feedback seriously, which can help in diffusing any tension and showing that you're open to dialogue.

3 Understand Fully

Before responding to any criticism, ensure you fully understand what's being said. Ask for clarification if necessary, and don't rush to defend yourself immediately. This shows that you're considering the feedback thoughtfully and are genuinely interested in what the other person has to say. Understanding the feedback completely can also help you formulate a more coherent and assertive response.

4 Respond Respectfully

Once you've understood the criticism, respond in a respectful and measured way. If you disagree, explain why calmly and provide evidence to support your perspective. If you agree with the feedback, thank the person for their input and outline any steps you might take to address the issue. Either way, a respectful response will reinforce your professionalism and assertiveness.

5 Set Boundaries

It's important to set clear boundaries when responding to feedback. If the criticism is not constructive or borders on personal, it's okay to assertively state that such comments are not helpful. Setting boundaries is a crucial part of being assertive—it helps you protect your self-esteem while ensuring that the conversation remains professional and focused on the work at hand.

6 Seek Outcomes

Aim for a positive outcome from the interaction. If the feedback is actionable, discuss ways to implement changes or improvements. If there's a misunderstanding, seek to clarify your work or intentions. By focusing on outcomes, you show a commitment to growth and a proactive approach to your professional development.

In my experience speaking at conferences, there’s a difference between offering a criticism and offering a challenge. You may be offering advice and direction about a topic and a person approaches you afterward to challenge your model or methods because they can’t see how it will work in their personal or professional situation. This can be used as a great opportunity to collaborate on a problem while furthering your message. In my experience (academic conferences withstanding), the people who approach you with the intention of calling you out are not people you need to engage with. That conversation will not result in productive outcomes, so simply thank them for their feedback and move on.
