You listened. You said Thanks. You responded". In my experience acknowledging feedback from a colleague means that you have listened to what they've said, and that you value the feedback. It helps build your relationship with that colleague and encourages them to come to you with more great feedback in the future. Great article, but I would put it this way: “You heard. You listened.

I would also say that when someone asks you for feedback be courageous enough to give it. I can't tell you how many times I have read annual reviews, hoping to receive feedback from colleagues I trust and only receive the standard "you're doing great". As professionals we need to be able to receive and give feedback in a consistent and regular manner. I can’t tell you how true this is!
