It is very difficult to take criticism. Especially when you may be fully aware of the imperfections of those offering the feedback on your performance. Trust me, I have lived the rage of those moments in full, and have come to see how many opportunities I wasted being upset vs taking the feedback and using it to improve and grow.  Today on Shift break we will be talking about how we should take the imperfect criticism and feedback we receive and own our part and our response... especially when we occupy the position of barista and may be young in the industry.    Listen to these related episodes next: SHIFT BREAK : The Scourge of Nitpicking Bosses SHIFT BREAK : Candid Advice for Baristas, Managers, and Owners The Courage to Correct Baristas Are Not Magic An Essential Habit for Every Coffee Shop Worker Owners need community too!
