The way we respond in the moment is heavily influenced by the place we are coming from. Emotionally, where are you coming from?

When you are given constructive criticism at work, what does it make you feel? Does it take you back to the place you’re coming from? One of low self-esteem, lack of self-belief?

When you are encouraged where are you coming from? A place of peace and unshakeable self belief to accept it? To allow it to add fuel to an already raging fire? Or a cold place of suspicion and fear that snuffs it?
