Have you ever received negative feedback that initially stung, but ultimately helped you grow and become better in your personal or professional life? If so, how did you overcome any initial resistance to the feedback and use it to your advantage?

Yes, I have received negative feedback in the past that initially hurt, but ultimately helped me grow. At first, I felt defensive and resistant to the feedback, but I reminded myself that it was an opportunity for improvement. I took a step back to reflect on the feedback objectively, identified areas for growth, and made a plan to address them. By addressing the feedback constructively, I was able to learn from it and become better in both my personal and professional life.
