The only way that you can better your performance is through seeking feedback and working on it. When you receive feedback that is negative, do the following: 1. Openness- Be open to feedback. You may not necessarily like the feedback or agree with it but don't get defensive. Giving feedback takes courage. Accept it. 2. Ask Questions- Ask more Questions to understand the feedback in depth. Ask more open ended Questions so you can get better insights. 3.Choose Feedback- While you may listen to feedback, you may choose to pick and choose wisely. 4. Create a Plan- Create an action plan to help you work on your feedback. 5. Practice- Do more presentations and keep seeking feedback areas until you are sure it's no longer a challenge.

There is nothing wrong with a negative feedback. If you have a negative feedback - 1. Introspect what you did wrong and do you see a way around? 2. A feedback is useless till you have some actionable measures to improve. Ask for them! 3. Ask for more points to work upon - or more ways to improve upon the same point. 4. Practice your new approach. 5. You could discuss with peers on how you can improve. Negative feedback does not mean there is something wrong with you or you should not try. Once you are ready with the improved skills, go again for a presentation - ask for opportunities or grab them. Also - sometimes the feedback might just be to bring you down - identify the genuine feedback to work upon and leave the rest.

Although the negative feedback gives a momentary setback, but I believe its wise to take it with a pinch of salt, calm oneself and do some self reflection in light of the received feedback. Often these criticisms help us chisel the blunts aspects of our performance and help us uncover areas of improvement which otherwise might have been neglected by us. Feedback, if taken as a window to uncover improvement areas, can make a big difference to our future endevours.

Negative feedback is not something bad, it just gives you a channel to improve upon. If you agree with the feedback: - Thank that person - Ask ways to implement it in better ways If you don't agree with the feedback: - Get a clear idea of their view - Clarify your thinking behind it - Don't argue but understand It's your confidence at the end, go ahead with your instinct because a new person = a new feedback!

Always welcome negative feedback (if it’s said sincerely), if you want to become better at what you do. It will help you see your weaknesses and be able to convert them into a strength.It’s not a direct attack on you, but on your skills. So, embrace it, and find a way how to improve.
