Hey there, hero!I ran across a quote by psychiatrist Thomas Szasz that called out a huge difference in how feedback/criticism/adjustments land with kids…as opposed to how that can land with adults.And it comes down to what he called “...the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem.”Adults don’t like to be questioned about their choices.Kids? They usually don’t give a rat. They’re used to being guided by adults, and don’t know what they don’t know.So…some advice in this episode about how to handle feedback from a coach, and not feel like you’ve been insulted.And how DO you feel when you get feedback from a trainer/coach/consultant/teacher?
