How to Get Useful Speaking Feedback: From Worst to Best Sources
Jenn explains why speakers should actively solicit feedback to iterate on their talks, improve performance, and earn rebookings and referrals. She contrasts helpful feedback with a negative experience watching a competitor’s webinar where a volunteer speaker was repeatedly interrupted and bluntly criticized in front of hundreds, advocating instead for supportive, end-of-presentation feedback like Toastmasters and her Mic Drop Moments process.
She recommends using Talkadot to collect immediate audience “smile report” data, quotes, and social graphics, and then ranks feedback sources from worst to best: self-review (often overly critical), staff (too supportive), family and friends (inconsistent and not specific), AI tools (useful analytics but limited on connection), other speakers (valuable if guided with specific questions), audience members and event organizers (more candid survey data), and finally speaker coaches for objective, encouraging, mindset-and-mechanics support. She previews next week’s topic on speaking fees.
