Yes, self-critique is, I think, one of the most important tools for improving on something. I also like that you touched on talking time. In my previous field, TEFL, it was called Teacher Talking Time (TTT) and learning to manage that to one's advantage was hugely helpful in teaching and has proven to be helpful in general.

But back to self-critique. This is, in and of itself a skill, no? Very often, I have seen people shy away from self-critique because their expectations are set too high, as in, they judge themselves too harshly. In the interest of further discussion, can you or geneusutwerk comment on how you've improved your skill of self-critique?
