Question

After a presentation Ramzi, a young researcher in social psychology, asked several colleagues how the presentation, went. Just about everybody, in one way or another said "It went fine." However one colleague said that she noticed that he had gone through the presentation hurriedly and made little eye contact with the audience. She also noticed that some members of the audience drifted off. After being initially defensive, Ramzi quickly recognized that this was true and acknowledged how nervous he was The feedback provided two insights First he was overly concerned about what his colleagues through of him. And second, he realized that his poor presentation style meant that he did not get the two main finding of his research across. He did not allow the research to speak for itself. What role if any does giving feedback to other play in your life ? What value if any, would increasing feedback to other add to your life ? What role does asking for feedback play in your life? If you were a client what kind of feedback would you like to give and receive in order to get the most out of the therapy session ? What should the helper do ? Jot down some ideas and then discuss them with a learning partner.

Explanation / Answer

1. Giving feedback to others is as important as taking feedback from others. By giving feedback you are letting, the person presenting, to know how he presented and what you want to see in a presentation and how he can make his presentation better. Also you are letting him know what is being expected from him because presentations are for audience only.

2. Increasing feedback to others life brings a very positive attitude in oneself. Also it makes one self-conscious about what points to keep in mind which he is expecting from others same he has to apply on himself too.

3. The more the number of feedback the more better one can become at presenting. Increasing the number of feedback means you are also open to negative feedbacks, this may sometime let you feel low but eventually when you have worked on the negative aspects as well, this will boost up the confidence and the value of the presentation. So this adds great value in ones life.

4. If I were a client, I would like to welcome both positive and negative feedbacks. By positive feedback it will help me increased confidence and by negative feedback I will get to know where I am lacking and what areas are needed to be worked upon. And for giving feedback to therapist I would like to give feedback which is appropriate for him and how he handled the therapy sessions and how much it helped me.
