Giving constructive feedback is not easy, but receiving feedback can also present some challenges.

Here are some tips to fully leverage the feedback given to you:

1. Listen to or read the feedback until the end.

Even if the feedback includes negative criticism, take the time to consider it as a whole and analyze it to understand the perspective of the person giving it.

2. Receive the feedback positively.

Always assume that the feedback is given with good intentions (it usually is). This will help you better understand it and ask yourself the right questions.

3. Take it into account if you find it relevant.

After considering the feedback and analyzing it as a whole, you will be able to extract the information you find useful to improve.
