My most successful strategies for my personal growth in this area have been

1. Work to separate my personal identity from my work. This is really hard for me and takes regular reflection and work, but over time it is possible to separate the two.

2. Frequently remind myself that everybody makes mistakes, it is simply part of being human.

3. Practice humility by welcoming the feedback and expressing gratitude for the ability to learn and grow. A little self-deprecating humor doesn't hurt either, and can soften the intensity of the feelings associated with receiving criticism.

Best of luck in your personal growth journey
