How can I ask for clarification on feedback I received?

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 can 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 I'm worried about sounding confrontational?

You can frame your question positively. For example, say, 'I really value your input and want to ensure I implement your suggestions correctly. Could you clarify what you meant by...?' This keeps the tone collaborative.

Should I ask for clarification in person or via email?

It depends on the context. If the feedback was given in a meeting, it might be best to ask in person for immediate clarification. If you feel more comfortable, an email can also work well.

What if the person is unresponsive to my request for clarification?

If they don't respond, consider following up politely after a few days. You could say, 'I wanted to check in regarding my previous question about your feedback. I appreciate your insights and would love to understand better.'
