I don’t know about you but I simply cannot walk and text at the same time. And that turns out to be a good thing.

Criticism can be tricky. It is often hard to give it effectively and it is even harder to hear it when it is aimed at you. That may be because we are not doing it correctly, according to Deb Bright, author of the book, The Truth Doesn’t Have to Hurt : How to Use Criticism to Strengthen Relationships, Improve Performance, and Promote Change (https://amzn.to/2ATMnyh). Listen as Deb reframes the topic and shows how criticism can be a very valuable tool in shaping behavior and getting things done. And it doesn’t necessarily have to sting.
