"Wise" itself is a great word for this, but it's not as specific as what you're looking for. Perhaps a synonym like "prudent" would do the trick, though.

"Receptive" is a word for someone who is "willing to listen to or accept ideas, suggestions, etc." (Merriam Webster)

Example usage: She is receptive to criticism. He is a receptive listener who benefits from instruction.

Used in a formal sense there is a word >> advisee: the one who receives advice.
Another, probably more appropriate to what you are looking for is >> heedful: the one who takes heed.
