4. Clothe With
Receptiveness
Adopt an attitude of
100% receptiveness,
don’t ever begin to
defend or justify your
action.

Clarification.
Always
Clarifications are to
improve your
understanding
precisely, not to defend
or negate the
feedback.

6. Do not Debate
Whether or how you
actually use the
feedback is for you to
decide later

7. Finally, Let
Silence do the
Heavy Lifting
Five signs that indicate
silence is needed
1. Interrupting by
talking over some
one else
2. Formulating your
response while
some one is talking
3. Using a break in the
conversation to
create a distraction
to change topics
4. Talking in circles
5. Monopolizing
airtime
