Today, you\\u2019re tuning in to part two of last week\\u2019s episode.

\\xa0

This being a 2-part episode, you may wonder why I am so focused on this topic of mastering constructive criticism?

\\xa0

The reason is that it\\u2019s crucially important to your life. It\\u2019s important for your relationships and it\\u2019s important for your career.

\\xa0

I want to help you make your personal relationships as strong and positive as they can be. I want to help you achieve the incredible work-life balance that you so desire.

\\xa0

To make all of that happen, you need to get good at giving constructive criticism. You need to learn how to have effective critiquing conversations.

\\xa0

Anytime we offer constructive criticism, we risk our relationships. We risk the other person getting upset or defensive. However, as John F. Kennedy said, there are risks and costs to taking action. The risks, however, are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction.\\xa0

\\xa0

Too many of us don\\u2019t want to point out when something is wrong. Instead, we sugarcoat and we downplay. In doing this, we destroy our world.

\\xa0

So today, let\\u2019s take a stand. Let\\u2019s stop accepting the things we don\\u2019t agree with by being silent. Let\\u2019s stand up, take action on these 10 steps, and speak out against the things that are wrong in our world.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Why you should think before you speak.
• When you bring a problem, offer a solution.
• Why constructive criticism requires creativity.
• Don\\u2019t postpone necessary criticism.
• Criticize the problem, not the person.
• The danger of attacking people with our words.
• What it means to take the log out of your own eye first.
• Why you should end criticism with encouragement.f
