234 - How to receive feedback (even when it's clunky)

from Culture Bites Hosted by Human Synergistics

We all say we want feedback – but how good are we at receiving it? In this episode, Dominic is joined by fellow consultant Ash Smith to unpack why receiving feedback can be so difficult, even for experienced leaders. They explore what triggers defensiveness, how to stay open (even when feedback is unexpected or poorly delivered), and why a true feedback culture depends just as much on how we receive as how we give. You’ll learn practical techniques for staying curious, assuming positive intent, and making feedback work for you – plus why positive feedback is too often overlooked. A must-listen for leaders, teams, and anyone serious about growth.
