I know most of us even me are so sensitive in criticism. We don't want to hear any bad things about us come from others. But there is a creative way to both sides handle each of one perfectly.
In Giving Criticism
Make sure you say it politely with compassion and intension of love, not in a burst of anger or what. Set up the perfect time to say it and know the perfect situation and also considerate the place. Be clear and direct, talking about the upcoming situation, not the prior mistake. Then stop talking. Silence locks in the message and allows for a response. Close with how you can best reach the goal together. Say it with the intention to correct others or to emphasize the wrong deed to avoid happen again, not intended for public shaming nor harming the feeling of others without any reason.
In Taking Criticism
Everyone receives direct criticism no exception in this but the things that you need to do is to accept it. Don’t interrupt, be defensive, make excuses, or argue. Instead, ask questions to show you understand and comprehension and want to improve. Ask for examples of ways you can work through a similar situation in that why you intentionally changing your way. Repeat advice and end by connecting your improvement to the betterment of the self. Remember: Don’t take it personally. And a “thank you” doesn’t hurt your reputation and ego either.
