Welcome to another episode of Her Business is Our Business where we Gayathri and Aparna look at Women Entrepreneurship beyond funding – sharing expertise, experiences and tools to grow your business.
We all receive feedback from time to time, be it at work or at home.
While some of these may be in our favour the others may not be something we would like to hear. So, how do we deal with this?
In this episode, we discuss the benefits of feedback, how to deal with constructive feedback and the need to listen to or take feedback from people especially those who may disagree with your perspectives. We also share some personal experiences and examples in this regard.
