Feedback are beautiful ideas.

A couple of days ago, I did a speech for Management Events in Gothenburg, a great event with over 100 CxO's in the audience. In one of the breaks, the organizers asked me: "Fredrik, how would you make this event better?"
I have done over 2000 speeches in my career but I might only have gotten that question a handful of times. Of course, event organizers ask for feedback, but it's usually by asking the participants to fill out a form. Here the organizers were asking me, the speaker, for ideas.
It was a very well-organized event, but they wanted to make it even better, and by asking the external speaker, they got ideas from a person with a different perspective than the attendees.
People who feed on feedback are always hungry to become better. Always find new ways of getting feedback.
Which unexpected person could you ask for feedback?
And in the spirit of this post: What feedback would you give me (not as a speaker, but as a poster of creativity content)?

1 å¹´Is it presumptuous to ask what you told them? I'll be speaking for their CXO event in Belgium next February. Any feedforward is most welcome so I can work towards making the event better. Thank you.

1 å¹´"Which unexpected person could you ask for feedback?" This is the attention-grabbing sentence of your article. You could bring it to the top or use it as your title.

1 年I love this! Thanks, Fredrik! I have something to share, not as a feedback, but as a crazy idea. How about doing some #CrazyCreativityChallenge? The challenges can come from different unexpected people. Something you’ve never done before and see what that would unleash in you. Hehe. Here’s an example of a crazy creativity challenge: Perform in a music video ??
