The mindset of receiving feedback is pretty simple: always say thank you. Live with the idea that all feedback, yes even poorly given and critical feedback is a good thing. Then you always say thank you. If you believe that feedback is important for growth and development, then you always say thank you.

It’s simple mindset of demonstrating that you’re open to what someone has to say. The beauty of feedback is just because someone gives it doesn’t mean you have to implement what they shared. That’s your choice after reflection.

When you believe that any feedback is better than no feedback it’s easier to not defend why you did what you did, and just say thank you.

Then you become known as a person who is open and receptive to feedback, you become more influential with others. They feel at ease.
