What to Do When You Receive Conflicting Feedback
2026-03-24
You can be a confident leader and still feel thrown off by feedback. Especially when it points in completely different directions. One person tells you to speak up more. Another says you’re too strong. Suddenly, you’re left wondering which version of you is actually right.
Tune in as I talk about how to think about feedback when it feels confusing or even contradictory. I share how I’ve learned to step back, separate emotion from information, and look for what feedback is really showing you about your impact as a leader.
In this episode, I’ll cover:
• Identify the patterns in feedback instead of reacting to a single opinion
• Evaluate the context and relationship behind the feedback you receive
• Create space between the emotional reaction and your response
