Describe me a time when your work was criticized

How do you take criticism?
Do you justify your mistakes or learn from these?
Everyone makes mistakes. We are lucky to receive feedback, even if it bad. We can learn and improve from these honest feedback.
Share an incident and show what you learnt. Show you are human and are open to feedback to improve.
Do's
• Tell about a project where the performance was not up to mark
• Boss called you and shared negative feedback
• You were shocked, but kept calm.
• You listened and made an action plan to improve
• In next project you did better and excelled
Don'ts
• I am perfect and I don't take criticism
• I don't like that boss

Negotiation is an important life skill

We negotiate most of our waking hours. We negotiate with our team members, colleagues, bosses and vendors at work, with our kids, spouse and parents at home. We negotiate during buying or selling of an asset e.g. house, car and also conflict resolution and during salary negotiations. Negotiation is an important life skill and it contributes to our success.

If we do not negotiate well or don’t negotiate at all then there is a big chance that we are going to leave money on the table, which could have been ours. We often don’t negotiate because we feel it is inappropriate or feel uncomfortable and fear it.

“You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.” Chester Karrass
