How do you handle negative feedback or criticism?

Mastering the Art of Handling Negative Feedback

I love this question. How do you handle negative feedback or criticism? Listen, we are always gonna get negative feedback and criticism. It doesn't matter if it's in podcasting, if it's as a leader in charge of people or organizations. The most negative feedback I get in any one day is from my kids and my wife. So no matter who we are, where we are, we always have to consider how we respond to negative feedback and criticism because sometimes how we respond is going to elicit another response that we may or may not want or need. It's called the second and third order effects, right, of our actions. There's always gonna be a reciprocal action or reaction. So how do we handle it? How do I handle it? First of all, I look at who sent this. There's always gonna be people who don't like us. They're not gonna like you. They're not gonna like your face, your voice, where you come from, how you look. It's just the way it is. So regardless of what you do or what you say, you're never gonna win. I don't respond to those. They don't matter. They're not my audience. They're never gonna be my audience, and I don't want them in my audience. There's people who are gonna be out there who are just trolls, okay? They're looking to generate a response. They're looking to create divide. They're looking to create problems. Their comments are usually very short. They didn't watch the whole thing, or they didn't read or listen to everything you put out. They're just pontificating a bunch of nonsense. Those, I normally won't respond to either. What I care about are the feedback and the comments from those who display thought, those who actually I can tell read or watched what I put out, and they have comments. They have actual feedback that warrants my discussion with them to talk about why I did a certain thing. For instance, the other day, somebody questioned my research, all right? Well, they had a different research source. I gave them mine. We talked about it. We came to a resolution and moved on. So understand where it's coming from, focus on what the value is to you, and answer it that way. Good luck.

I handle negative feedback or criticism by first looking at who sent it; some people are just trolls and don't deserve a response. For those who have thought-out comments, I focus on the value that their feedback might provide and discuss it with them to come to a resolution.

Handling negative feedback or criticism is something we all have to deal with. Whether it's in podcasting, leadership roles, or personal relationships, it's important to consider our response and the potential consequences. First, I evaluate who the feedback is coming from. Some people simply won't like us, our appearance, or where we come from, and their opinions aren't worth my attention. Trolls who seek to provoke and create problems also don't deserve a response. Instead, I focus on feedback that comes from thoughtful individuals who have actually engaged with my content. Their comments and feedback provide value and may warrant a discussion to understand different perspectives. For example, when someone questioned my research, we had a conversation where we shared our sources and reached a resolution. It's crucial to understand the source of the criticism and prioritize engaging with those who offer constructive insights. Good luck!

How do you manage and minimize the risks of burnout and creative exhaustion in podcasting?

Unlocking Creativity and Preventing Burnout in Podcasting

I thought this was the absolute perfect spot to answer today's Any Question. How do you manage and minimize the risks of burnout and creative exhaustion in podcasting? Well, it's simple. You've got to find cool places. One of the things that I've made a staple of the Jedburgh podcast is not only to have impactful conversations with today's most meaningful leaders, but to record those episodes in places that are important to them. Go to them, sit down and build that personal relationship that you get through in-person interviews, but also do it in a place that represents their story. Do it in a place that they identify with, that sums up the whole experience of what they're talking about and why I wanted to interview them in the first place. That's what I do. That keeps it interesting. That keeps it unique. That keeps it exciting for me as the podcast host and the creator, for them as the guests because they're in their environment, and for our listeners and viewers.

To manage and minimize the risks of burnout and creative exhaustion in podcasting, you need to find cool places to record your interviews. This will keep things exciting for you, your guests, and your listeners or viewers.
