Ep# 20 Resilience Under Fire: Navigating Criticism with Grace

The Women's Room - Legal Division

In this episode of the Women's Room Legal Division podcast, I discuss strategies for dealing with being told off at work, drawing from personal experiences and psychological insights. The podcast breaks down the situation into several phases, offering practical advice on immediate reactions, processing emotions, formulating plans to resolve issues, and analyzing feedback constructively. The episode also touches on understanding the critic’s perspective, handling ongoing ruminations, and addressing potential workplace bullying. Listeners are reminded that a single mistake does not define them or their value.
