LESSON 5 · The Feedback Playbook
The Growth Reframe
Being told you are the problem feels like a career death sentence. In reality, it's a career inflection point. The pros who grow most are the ones who received hard feedback and acted on it — publicly and over a long enough arc that the change becomes reputation.

Reframe the narrative: "I discovered a blind spot, and now I'm deliberately fixing it." This arc — unaware to aware to actively improving — is one of the most compelling leadership stories you can tell in an interview.
