Take note of those moments. Think about the ingredients of a good talk and how you are doing according to them (see the “Ingredients of Great Public Speaking” page for reminders). Don’t be afraid to make changes - this is the most important part! What is good feedback anyways? Whether feedback is self-given or given by others, it should be constructive. Good feedback is constructive feedback. Constructive feedback is any feedback, positive or negative, that you can use to improve. It is: <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"> <li>Actionable: you can do something to improve based on the feedback</li> <li>Specific: it is not vague or general but targeted and specific</li> </ul> How to give constructive feedback <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"> <li>Be honest. Honest feedback is better than nice feedback</li> <li>Be quick. Give feedback immediately after, when the memory is fresh</li> </ul> Receiving feedback from others Remember to be open to change. Use practice and feedback to improve yourself. <span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At the same time, remember that feedback, especially feedback that may seem negative, isn’t a judgment of who you are as a person but a comment about your current, continually growing abilities<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">5<span style="font-size: 9.5pt; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.
