I want to get constructive feedback and grow from it, without getting upset. Is that too much to ask.

Feedback is a crucial element of your professional growth, so it pays to ask for it. Whether from a trusted colleague or manager, highquality feedback highlights where you shine and where you can improve.
However, sometimes the feedback we get isn’t tough enough. Blanket compliments like “Great job” or “You’re doing fine” aren’t particularly helpful. On the other hand, getting unexpected negative feedback can be painful.

In this episode, Innovation Editor Christine Liu sets out to learn how to ask for and get quality feedback, how to react to feedback (good or bad), and how to grow from it. She turns to Octavia Goredema, career coach and founder of Twenty Ten Agency, for answers on how to manage professional feedback.
