01 // 7 Principles for HOW to Receive Feedback Well (Even When It Hurts)
Receiving feedback well is more important than giving feedback well.

Because receiving it is something you'll probably do more and you have much more control over how well it goes.

Do we act like we're happy they told us?
What do we do if they are completely wrong in their feedback?
Wrong about us?
We talk about all that and more on this episode.
Receiving tough feedback well is a skill that can be learned. Tune in as we dive into how we can receive critical feedback well, especially as software engineers.
