There are certain types of presentation feedback I’ve learned to be a little wary of as the years have gone by.
“Wow, that was so good.”
“That was so inspiring.”
“You’re a great speaker.”
There’s no doubt about it, feedback like this builds our confidence, but if you want to become known for your subject, it’s not the kind of feedback you should be chasing.
The best feedback isn’t praise for how you spoke. It’s proof you challenged the way they think.
Let me explain…
The feedback that gets you remembered (and recommended) sounds more like this:
“I’ve never thought about [topic] that way before.”
“You’ve really made me rethink [assumption].”
“That hit me hard, I’ll be thinking about this for a long time.”
“You’ve put into words something I’ve felt, but never been able to articulate.”
“I feel much more [emotion] about [topic] now.”
“I know exactly what I need to do next.”
Notice the difference?
Not one of them is about you.
They’re about what shifted for them.
Design your next talk, workshop, newsletter, podcast etc. with one of these outcomes in mind and you can’t go too far wrong.
The question is, how?
And that’s what I’ve set out to answer in my latest YouTube video.
In it, I break down the three fundamental skills you need to master to get this kind of feedback, every time you speak.
12 minutes 8 seconds well spent! Enjoy…🍿
I hope you find it useful.
If you do, likes, subscribes and comments (I reply to them all) are extremely welcome!
