The only way to really know yourself is to ask others what they see. That’s what I told a client the other day. Of course, the key is to really listen, and not argue that they are wrong.
I personally know how painful it is to be an open-hearted human being. It means I invite inputs from so many respected parties. It also means that I allow my closest clients to coach me as much as I coach them. And it means I sometimes reel from injury, but I know I am resilient enough to bounce back.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Open your heart and mind to feedback to help you grow. Being defensive is putting up a wall to growth.
