Tweetable Quotes:
“Feedback can be a powerful tool if it’s used the right way, but it can be powerful if it’s interpreted and internalized and used the right way from the receiving end.” - Dr. James Bryant
“Your tone in how you speak and your body language, those things are communicated, and if you are taking it personally and if you are judging that person and their words and if you have imputed some type of assumption on them that is negative, guess what: when you ask that questions, it may not be communicated positively.” - Dr. James Bryant
“The antidote for negative feedback is gratitude and appreciation.” - Dr. James Bryant
