There is no failure, only feedback.

Accepting constructive feedback doesn’t come naturally to everyone. So how do you turn receiving it from a negative into your most powerful ally?

What is Feedback?

Feedback in this context is one or more people sharing their reactions to a person’s presentation. This can involve coaching (here’s how to do things differently), evaluation (current method analysed), or simply appreciation. The first two are absolutely vital for anyone wanting to improve their presentations.

The Positive Effects of Constructive Criticism

You never stop learning. Every presentation is a learning opportunity, and every feedback on your presentation will help you get one step further on the road to becoming an exceptional presenter.

Here are just some of the benefits of receiving feedback:

• Get insights on what works and doesn’t, so you can fix it for future presentations.
• Help you connect with your colleagues by encouraging a culture of mutual growth and development.
• Feedback is a powerful motivator. Imagine that you are bowling and a screen descends just as your ball is about to hit the pins. If you don’t see the results of your efforts, you’ll quickly stop caring and not want to play at all.
