''For over 20 years as a person in charge, communication has always been a tool in constant evolution for me. At the same time, it becomes a target for feedback, sometimes unsolicited, from individuals whose sole intention is not to contribute to the evolution. Therefore, it is essential to always consider the source of the comment and validate whether they have merit. Take what you truly believe will add value based on your experience, discard the rest, and be prepared to continue evolving based on this feedback.

Embrace Feedback and Adapt: I view constructive criticism as a valuable tool for growth, using it to reflect on my speaking style and make adjustments. By incorporating feedback, I evolve and ensure my message connects more effectively with my audience. Stay Authentic While Growing: As I adapt and improve, I remain true to my unique voice and core values. This balance allows me to refine my delivery while keeping my message authentic and meaningful.

Embrace Feedback: View critiques as opportunities for improvement. Reflect on Critiques: Identify specific areas needing change in delivery or content. Seek Clarification: If feedback is vague, ask for specific examples. Incorporate Suggestions: Experiment with new storytelling techniques and audience engagement. Connect with Mentors: Gain insights from experienced speakers for fresh perspectives. Practice Mindfully: Focus on highlighted areas during rehearsals. Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge small victories to boost confidence. By following these tips, you can refine your style and enhance audience connection.

When facing tough critiques on my speech style, I first focus on listening without getting defensive, viewing the feedback as a valuable tool for growth. I reflect on the specific points raised, whether it’s about tone, pacing, or delivery, and identify areas for improvement. Next, I seek additional perspectives from trusted peers or mentors for deeper insight. I then practice incorporating the feedback, experimenting with new techniques to refine my style. Over time, I track progress and embrace the continuous learning process. By viewing critiques as opportunities, I’ve transformed them into meaningful growth in my speaking abilities.

Stay Open-Minded: Approach the feedback with a willingness to learn, recognizing it as a valuable perspective rather than a personal attack. Identify Specifics: Pinpoint particular aspects of your style that were highlighted, focusing on actionable points for improvement. Seek Additional Input: Engage trusted colleagues or mentors for their insights, gaining diverse perspectives on your speaking approach. Experiment with Techniques: Try incorporating different speaking styles or techniques in future sessions, such as storytelling or interactive elements, to find what resonates. Reflect and Iterate: After implementing changes, reflect on their effectiveness and continue to refine your approach based on audience responses.
