The Critique Technique. Moving Critical Reviews to The Side

Criticism is inevitable. Whether you’re launching a product, sharing an idea, or building a brand, someone will always have an opinion. But here’s the truth: not all critiques are created equal. Some are constructive; others are just noise.

The key is learning to separate the signal from the static.


Why Critique Matters

Critique can be a powerful tool for growth—if you let it. It shines a light on blind spots, challenges assumptions, and pushes you to improve. But when criticism becomes the focal point, it can paralyze progress.

The real challenge isn’t avoiding critique; it’s deciding which critiques deserve your attention.


The Critique Technique: A Shift in Perspective

Instead of letting criticism dominate the conversation, try this:

  1. Acknowledge, Don’t Absorb
    Hear the feedback, but don’t let it define you. Not every critique requires a reaction.
  2. Focus on the Why
    Ask yourself: Does this feedback align with my goals? Does it come from a place of expertise or genuine concern? If not, it’s okay to let it go.
  3. Prioritize Progress Over Perfection
    Perfection is an illusion. Progress, on the other hand, is tangible. Keep moving forward, even if it’s imperfect.

The Philosophy of Critique

Critique is a mirror, reflecting not just your work but also the perspectives of others. But remember: you control the angle of the mirror. Tilt it toward growth, not self-doubt.
