Syncreate Podcast Episode 45 [VIDEO]: Giving and Receiving Feedback

In this installment of our Creative Spark mini-episodes, we discuss the art of giving and receiving feedback in the context of our creative work. It’s so important to ask for and receive feedback to polish our work into its final form. But sometimes this feedback can be hard to receive in the moment, or we may need to take some time to digest it before we can incorporate the feedback. Similarly, when giving feedback to others, it’s important to be constructive and productive. This episode, like the mini-episodes that preceded it, includes insights and prompts from our book, Syncreate: A Guide to Navigating the Creative Process for Individuals, Teams, and Communities.
For our Creativity Pro-Tip, we encourage you to ask for feedback on your work from someone you trust, and to receive that feedback in a mindful, present way, with generosity and gratitude. Then take some time to reflect on the feedback and find your sense of agency with it before returning to the work and incorporating it.
