Thank the Giver

Remember that in most cases, the person who has given you a feedback, even negative, has done you a huge favour. Therefore, thank the person for their valuable time and also for the valuable feedback. Let them know you appreciate their honest feedback and that you will certainly be reflecting on it to have a much different outcome next time around. This will ensure that the process ends on a positive note for the two of you and most importantly, you will walk away with the belief that you have gained something, even though the feedback itself was not positive.
