Negative Feedback Quotes

“When you put yourself in the other person's shoes, you can see that the person critiquing you is merely trying to help.”
― Fran Hauser, The Myth of the Nice Girl: Achieving a Career You Love Without Becoming a Person You Hate

“Belief in yourself can certainly be difficult and painful, and the process is not effortless. You will constantly battle fear, doubt, negative feedback, and hundreds of other forces.

“Any negative feedback stings, but feedback that doesn’t align with who you are at your core can hurt even worse because you feel misunderstood. How you react to the feedback and what you do afterwards will impact your career trajectory at the company. Your first instinct may be to rebut, defend, or explain the behaviors that led to the feedback. But perceptions don’t change because of explanations or more information; they change over time after you adjust your actions and behaviors.”
