"Sometimes, I do get too caught up with goals and results that I forget to put myself in the shoes of my client. The good news is that this is only the initial outcome, which means I still have a chance to deliver the next few milestones well. I'd trace my steps back to find out if I have misinterpreted my client's instructions. Then, I will ask them exactly what they don't like about this particular deliverable and assure them that I care about their approval. If their feedback is overly subjective, then I will try my best to tie it back to the target metrics that we've identified for the project. From there, I should be able to negotiate with the client without sacrificing the timeline or our quality of work."
