How to Receive Feedback to Maximize Your Growth

About the talk

We all seek or get feedback one way or another to grow and improve. However, the feedback on our code, work, or behavior doesn’t always come in the way we want, so we may struggle to understand it or become defensive. Therefore, it’s crucial that we learn how to obtain valuable feedback even in tough situations. In this talk, we will go over some tips to help you do exactly that.

This talk will cover

  • Differentiating the types of feedback you get - evaluation, coaching, and appreciation
  • Some triggers that might make us defensive when receiving feedback
  • “Pulling the feedback” - how to seek feedback even when nobody is giving it
