𪤠The Feedback Trap: How to protect your presentation confidence
The high-performance habit that will make you a better presenter.

After every presentation you deliver, ask yourself the following 3 questions:
On a scale of 1 to 10, how:
1. Confident did I feel? đ
2. Clear was my message? đĄ
3. Connected was my audience? âĄď¸

Most presenters tend to take an all-or-nothing approach when reflecting on their presentationsâŚ
Either it went well, or it didnât âď¸.
Given we are almost always our own toughest critics, more often than not, it will be the latter.
I call this The Feedback Trap.
Imagine for a minute that youâve been building a nice streak of presentations that have âgone well.â You can feel your confidence improving with each one you deliver.
Then, out of nowhere, you have a shocker.
