Effective Feedback: What, How and Why?(Q&A)

<p>I received a question from a listener: “How do I take criticism graciously and make it work in my favor?

I talk about the purpose of feedback, and I give the reasons why feedback often isn’t as effective as it should be. I note that, when you receive honest feedback, you need to act on it--even when you’re wrongly perceived--because it shows the customer that you’re far better than your worst moments.</p> <p align="center"><em>“Let your action do the talking, because changed behavior is the best apology.”</em></p> <p align="center">- Murtaza Versi</p> <p><strong>This week on the Engage Relate Perform Podcast:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Responding to negative feedback</li> <li>How to react when feedback is unfair</li> <li>The power of taking action</li> </ul> <p><strong>Resources Mentioned:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href= "mailto:hello@murtazaversi.com">hello@murtazaversi.com</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/murtazagversi/">Murtaza Versi on LinkedIn</a><strong><em> </em></strong></li> </ul> <p align="center"><strong><em>Engage, Relate, Perform!</em></strong></p> <p>I’m Murtaza Versi, and this is Engage Relate Perform, the show that helps leaders and organizations drive long-term results by fostering relationships and enhancing engagement.</p> <p>Whether you’re looking to improve your team’s performance while impacting lives and driving long-term results, or you already have that dream title, or you’re simply curious about how far you can challenge yourself, this is the show for you.</p> <p>Get all the latest information at <a href= "http://murtazaversi.com/pod">murtazaversi.com/pod</a> and with us at <a href= "mailto:hello@murtazaversi.com">hello@murtazaversi.com</a>.</p> <p>Don’t forget to subscribe and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts!</p> <p align="center"><a href= "https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/audioadrenaline/engage-relate-perform"> Stitcher</a> I <a href= "https://tunein.com/podcas
