Hey friends,

Be Coachable

Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. -Proverbs 19:20 NIV

Excited about the progress she was making on her manuscript, Tara shared the first two chapters with two of her friends for feedback. She also shared her manuscript with a colleague who'd recently published her fifth book. Tara's friends gave her rave reviews and told Tara they couldn't wait to read the rest. Tara's colleague sent a lengthy email that started, "This needs work." Attached to the email was a red-lined version of Tara's manuscript with comments on almost every line.

Tara spent two weeks in anguish over the email. She just couldn't let it go. Every time she sat down to write more of her book, "this needs work" popped into her mind. One day, her husband asked how the book was coming along. Tara told him she didn't think her book was going to work. She showed him the email from her colleague. "This is good advice," Tara's husband said. "It looks like she really took the time to point you in the right direction.“ Tara's husband encouraged her to call her colleague and discuss the comments. "With her help, your book will be amazing."

Receiving critical feedback on our writing can be hard to take. However, constructive criticism often comes with valuable lessons. When we put our egos aside long enough to uncover the lesson and allow it to teach us something, the criticism can be a valuable gift.
