How Elegant Women Handle Criticism (Even When It Hurts)

Criticism lands differently when you know what to do with it. Many women were never taught to handle criticism deliberately — and it shows. In the over-explanation. The defensiveness. The comment that lands on a Tuesday and stays with her through the weekend. In this video I'm sharing a five-step approach that changed how I receive, evaluate, and respond to criticism — in professional settings, in personal relationships, and everywhere in between. Not to survive it. To use it. Because criticism and feedback don't have to define you. Used well, they refine you.
