    Receive feedback • Integrate feedback
  23. 1. An opportunity to improve your relationships 2. Listen carefully

    to POV and consider its intention 3. Ask questions 4. Let your defences down 5. Resist the urge to justify your behaviour or actions 6. Identify what you can learn from it 7. Come up with an action plan 8. Later on you can verify the feedback 9. But always thank the other person Receiving Feedback
