    Feedback from "subject matter audience" is all that matters. Presentation can be of thousands of subjects around us but audience, clarity and desired goals should be the main focal points.

    Feedback is a powerful tool for improving presentation skills, as it provides an external perspective on both content and delivery. It helps identify gaps in information, logical inconsistencies, and areas needing greater clarity, ensuring that the material is well-structured, relevant, and engaging for the audience. In the case of nstructive feedback, it also refines storytelling techniques, enhances the use of visual aids, and ensures that key messages resonate effectively. By addressing content weaknesses, presenters can make their material more compelling and impactful.

    I can answer this from the perspective of an architect/designer, where we need to develop a design concept based on the client's vision. So, the initial feedback from clients is most essential to ensure your design aligns with their ideology, company policies,and mission. By incorporating their insights, you ensure the final presentation reflects their values and long-term goals. Additionally, feedback from colleagues is invaluable because design is often subjective. A colleague’s perspective might highlight overlooked aspects or provide fresh ideas that strengthen your concept. Being open to this input allows you to refine your design and delivery,for a more well-rounded, polished presentation.

    For me, they key to constantly improve my self on any field is to not being defensive whenever I got a feedback, be it positive or negative. Listen to the feedback, attentively. Try to see it from several different angles of perspective.

    Feedback has helped me a lot refine my presentation skills and confidence. - Feedback can highlight whether a presentation is too fast or too slow, allowing adjustments for better clarity and emphasis on important topics - Constructive feedback helps identify whether the presentation is too dependent on slides or lacks audience interaction, which can help us alter our delivery style in accordance with the audience, making sure that key messages are well organised. - Practicing slides before hand and incorporating friend's/ mentor's feedback boosts confidence eventually.

    See yourself as a producer and your audience as the consumer. In Order to satisfy your customers you need their input to understand their taste. Feedback would help you see what needs improvement, what are your strengths and also what to do away with. It is also important to know that your presentation skill can be affected by different cultures. It is not a one size fits all model, that is why feedback are really important

    An often overlooked aspect of feedback is how it is delivered: anonymous, in person, or in some other mediated way. Each method of delivery demands different skills of listening and consideration so as to do it justice. Whatever the method of delivery, closing the feedback loop is crucial; letting people know that you have thought about the feedback and how it will be incorporated or , if not, why not, in the future.

It also helps in identifying gaps in content, ensuring that the message is conveyed effectively to the intended audience. Furthermore, feedback fosters continuous learning and professional growth, allowing presenters to adapt their approach based on audience responses and expectations. By incorporating feedback from peers, mentors, or audiences, individuals can enhance their confidence, refine their delivery techniques, and develop a more compelling and impactful presentation style.
