Do compliments make you squirm?
If you really want to hear what people think, you need to accept and appreciate all kinds of feedback.
Even praise.
So respond in a way that communicates your openness to feedback:
- Maintain eye contact.
- Keep an open posture and an open mind as you listen.
- Don't question motive or accuracy.
- Just say "thank you."
That's it. No quips or self-effacing remarks. No need to agree or disagree.
At that moment, it's really not about you.
It's about the speaker, and what the speaker wants you to know.
