Some people provide feedback, and most, who offer us "advice" sadly, provide it in the form of criticism. Even if it is constructive, sometimes it can be hard to swallow!
When you get either feedback or criticism, instead of defending it, TAKE it well, meaning, implore the approach of:
T - Thank the person or share "That's something I hadn't thought of"
A - Ask for clarification or an example if it's not clear
K - Keep calm & focused on how you can learn/grow from this
E - Explain in terms of feedback what you'll do
Once you learn to TAKE criticism, it become useful, and not so much of critical from the other person as it is a consideration on your side!
How you present is how you are remembered!
