Receiving feedback from your team or mentor is important for growth and from Kaylee\\u2019s experience, \\u201cI love feedback but if you\\u2019re not going to be constructive about it, that\\u2019s not helpful on either side.\\u201d

In the face of negativity, Kaylee recommends taking a moment to compose yourself instead of leaping into defense mode and, \\u201cassess the situation and decide whether or not it\\u2019s worth being upset about.\\u201d
