Turning Criticism and Setbacks into Growth

We can't avoid making mistakes and receiving negative feedback from others, but we can train our minds to change how we deal with it. The goal is to pause, look at feedback with curiosity, and decide what to do with it. This talk will offer you tools to do precisely that.

This session covers:

• Why does Feedback feel like a personal attack?
• How to spot and  prevent yourself from overreacting to feedback and setbacks
• How to reframe your self-talk to be more curious when being criticised and less harsh on yourself when making mistakes.

In this session, Raf uses his professional athlete experience to share easy-to-use and highly effective mental tools to make feedback less stressful so you can transform it into a lesson.

From valid but tough-to-hear to poorly delivered feedback, no matter what you hear, you will have the tools to slow down and be more coachable during every feedback conversation.

The session length is between 60-75 mins.

What customers say...

Eloise Inedahl Swales:

“Highly recommend! In a world of tech we often forget that the most powerful tools lie within ourselves. I was fortunate enough to attend one of Rafs seminars and engage with him post-presentation, and would eagerly recommend more to do the same.

I found use of what he taught straight away in both professional and personal situations and really valued that he taught not just mindset but also left us with tools we could take away and start using straight away.”
