Here\u2019s what to do:<\/p>\n

1. Stop focusing on PROVING yourself and start focusing on IMPROVING yourself.<\/p>\n

2. Instead of defending your current knowledge, find ways to continually increase your levels of understanding and grow as a person.<\/p>\n

3. Instead of becoming defensive and fighting against negative feedback, embrace feedback of all kinds and use it to get better.<\/p>\n

4. Create a document called \u2018Lessons Learned\u2019 and every time you discover a gold nugget of advice, write it down and review your collection regularly.<\/p>\n

5. Stop trying to be perfect. Give yourself permission to learn from your mistakes and don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.<\/p>\n
