How to respond to harsh criticism: the Steve Jobs method
1. Try to anticipate criticism
If you will be giving a presentation or speech, imagine what points might cause criticism from the audience. You may have been given similar comments before that you could not answer. Consider what to say in advance. Having a blank answer will make it easier for you to react to unpleasant words.
2. Don't answer immediately
Don't get angry or answer hastily. Pour a glass of water, collect your thoughts, find the right words.
3. Start with a friendly general phrase
Jobs began his response to criticism during one speech by saying, "When you try to change something, one of the most difficult obstacles is that people like the one who asked this question are right about something." He softened his answer, and at first glance it seems as if he agrees with his opponent, although it is clear from further speech that this is not the case.
