How can I ask for clarification on feedback?

I received some feedback on my project, but I'm not sure I fully understand it. How can I ask for clarification?

It's great that you want to seek clarification! You could start by saying, 'Thank you for your feedback. Could you please elaborate on the specific points you mentioned?' This shows appreciation and invites more detail.

What if the feedback was vague? How should I approach that?

If the feedback is vague, you might say, 'I appreciate your input, but I find some of it a bit unclear. Could you provide specific examples or suggestions for improvement?'

Is it okay to ask for clarification in an email?

Absolutely! In an email, you can write something like, 'Thank you for your feedback. I would love to understand it better. Could you clarify your thoughts on...?' This keeps the tone professional and respectful.

What if I feel defensive about the feedback?

It's natural to feel defensive. Try to take a moment to breathe and remind yourself that feedback is an opportunity for growth. When asking for clarification, focus on understanding rather than defending your work.
