Feedback is data, not identity.
from Mpactful Messages: The ”Let’s Talk About It” Podcast · host Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam
When was the last time someone gave you feedback… and it felt personal? This week on Mpactful Messages: The Let’s Talk About It Podcast, Mayce DelValle and Missy Washam are flying duo for a conversation that started as a real-life “bestie talk” and turned into an episode because it was too important not to share. Here’s the truth that anchors the whole conversation: Feedback is data, not identity. If you’ve ever carried one negative comment longer than you carried a room full of praise, you’re not alone. Mayce and Missy talk about why high performers tend to internalize criticism… and how learning to separate who you are from what you did changes everything. Not only does it help you lead with more steadiness and courage… it also helps you build a team culture where people aren’t afraid to learn, own mistakes, and grow. This is the reminder you didn’t know you needed: your identity has to be anchored deeper than your performance.
