Imagine you have years-worth of research and it is dismissed by a 15-word rejection letter from a journal editor. That has happened to us.<\/p>\n

Or\u00a0peer reviewers<\/a>\u00a0write demeaning, anonymous commentary about your work. That has also happened to us.<\/p>\n

Or\u00a0student evaluations<\/a>\u00a0critique your appearance or the way you speak. Yes, that\u2019s also happened to us.<\/p>\n

Academics also get negative feedback on research grants and funding applications, conference submissions and mainstream writing outlets, like The Conversation. And, yes, we\u2019ve experienced all this, too. And we are not alone.<\/p>\n

We are experts in management and psychology. The good news is, there are strategies available to help you overcome and even use negative feedback to your advantage.<\/p>\n

Feedback is a key component for any academic career. It is part of how the profession maintains rigour and quality in what it does.<\/p>\n

While it can of course be positive, research shows, it tends to be\u00a0negative<\/a>. And this comes at a cost to individuals, their sense of self worth and their\u00a0mental health<\/a>.
