You're building your personal brand. How do you navigate feedback from colleagues that doesn't align with it?

When building your personal brand, it’s important to stay true to your goals even if feedback from colleagues doesn’t always match. If someone suggests changes that don’t fit with your brand, listen carefully but stay focused on your own vision. For example, if your brand is about being a tech innovator but a colleague suggests you should focus on traditional methods, politely explain how your approach is aligned with your goals and how it benefits your brand. You can use the feedback to understand different perspectives, but make sure your actions and decisions stay consistent with the image you want to project.

Start by assessing the feedback objectively—determine if it highlights areas for improvement or if it clashes with your core brand values. If it offers valid insights, consider how you can incorporate the suggestions without compromising your brand’s essence. Communicate openly with colleagues to understand their perspectives and clarify your brand’s direction. Ultimately, stay true to your vision while remaining open to constructive feedback that can help you grow and refine your brand. Balancing authenticity with adaptability is key.

Feedbacks diferentes n?o significam que a outra parte esteja certa, mas oferecem uma nova perspectiva. Absorva o que for útil e siga em frente. Seria estranho se todos pensassem da mesma forma, n?o é verdade? A diversidade de vis?es nos enriquece e nos faz crescer.

When building your personal brand and encountering feedback from colleagues that doesn’t align with it, approach the situation with an open mind and clarity. Evaluate whether the feedback has merit and if it reveals areas for growth. If it doesn’t align with your personal brand, calmly explain your brand’s values and goals to your colleagues, highlighting how their feedback might be addressed without compromising your brand identity. Use constructive feedback to refine your approach while staying true to your core brand message. Maintaining professionalism and being receptive to different perspectives can help you balance authenticity with adaptability.

Jean Cocteau disait : ? Ce que le public te reproche, cultive-le : c’est toi. ? Construire sa marque personnelle peut être difficile. En tant que coach, j’ai appris que ces commentaires, même divergents, peuvent nous aider à mieux nous conna?tre. Comme Chris Gardner dans The Pursuit of Happyness qui choisit de suivre son propre chemin malgré les critiques. Il est essentiel de ne pas laisser les opinions des autres nous détourner de notre objectif. Je recommande de tenir un "journal de perception" : notez les retours, analysez lesquels résonnent avec vos valeurs et ceux qui mettent en lumière des axes d'amélioration. Cela permet de rester ouvert tout en restant fidèle à soi. Et vous, comment gérez-vous les retours de vos collègues ?
