In this episode of our Creative Spark series, we share our own experience of receiving difficult feedback on one of our ideas, and how we dealt with it. It can be really vulnerable to receive critical or constructive feedback on our creative work, but if we can assume positive intent and digest it accordingly, it can result in a better quality final product. This episode, like the mini-episodes that preceded it, also includes insights from our book, <a href="https://www.syncreate.org/book.html">Syncreate: A Guide to Navigating the Creative Process for Individuals, Teams, and Communities</a>.For our Creativity Pro-Tip, we encourage you to ask for feedback on your creative work, from someone you trust, and to listen with curiosity rather than certainty, so you can find what’s helpful to make the work even better.Credits: The Syncreate podcast is created and hosted by Melinda Rothouse, and produced at Record ATX studios with in collaboration Michael Osborne and 14th Street Studios in Austin, Texas.
