Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
How do you react to feedback? 

We often take feedback personally, especially when it's critical, feeling as though it reflects our worth or capabilities. This mindset can hold us back and create distance between us and those offering genuine insights. If we learn to react with openness and curiosity, rather than defensiveness or dismissal, we can turn feedback into a tool for refining our approach and achieving better outcomes.
