When receiving critical feedback, it's natural to feel upset, but it's important to stay calm. First, take a deep breath and give yourself a moment to process what was said. Avoid reacting immediately; instead, focus on understanding the feedback objectively. Ask questions if something is unclear, and try to see the feedback as a chance to grow. Reflect on the areas for improvement and make a plan to address them. Remember, everyone makes mistakes, and this is a learning opportunity. Stay positive, and use the feedback to get better at your job.

This is often a difficult experience---nobody enjoys hearing about their shortcomings. A few tips: 1) Breathe! 2) Actively listen. Be curious. Resist the urge to immediately defend yourself (even if you feel defensive). 3. Ask clarifying questions. Try to get to the heart of the feedback. 4. Breathe some more. 5. Acknowledge what you heard. Respond accordingly. If you made a mistake, then actively present a solution. If you need time to process--ask for it. 6. Thank them for sharing this with you. Even if the feedback is wrong/stupid, there is always a golden nugget to be found--sometimes the nugget is how that person sees you. 7. Don't catastrophize! Feedback is simply information. And hopefully, it is information that will help you grow.

Dicas: Evitar a defensiva: N?o leve o feedback para o lado pessoal e n?o se sinta na defensiva. Reconhecer o que precisa melhorar: Seja humilde e aceite que está aprendendo e se desenvolvendo. Refletir sobre o que foi dito: N?o reaja de imediato, mas dê tempo para digerir e ponderar o que foi dito. Agradecer o feedback: Agradecer é uma forma de demonstrar que valoriza a opini?o dos outros. Fazer perguntas para esclarecer: Se algo n?o estiver claro, n?o hesite em pedir esclarecimentos.

Receiving critical feedback from your supervisor can be challenging at the same time, and it's important to handle your emotions effectively. Receiving critical feedback is an opportunity for growth and development. By managing your emotions effectively, you can approach the feedback with a constructive mindset and strive for continuous improvement. Reflect objectively: Step back and objectively evaluate the feedback. Separate your emotions from the content of the feedback and focus on the specific areas of improvement or development.

1. Make sure the feedback is supported by clear data and evidence. Be polite and professional when receiving the feedback, and "delay" any strong emotional response to your private circle. 2. Ensure you have 2-3 clear actionable items in the pipeline (aligned with your manager) so that you can quickly work on improving your working style and overall performance. 3. Float the critical (negative) feedback to a third party (2-3 co-workers) to get an external perspective, so to ensure the feedback is indeed genuine and not a political maneuver. 4. Seek extra help from peers and external mentors to ensure you can quickly get back on track
