Get Evaluations to Grow
Summary:
Understanding what your audience hears or reads can be different from what you intended. This article provides tips on obtaining actionable feedback to improve your communication skills.---
When you're speaking, you're aware of your message. But do you know how it's being understood by your audience? The same goes for writing: are you sure your readers are interpreting your content as intended?
It's not uncommon for speakers to be surprised by the gap between their intended message and what their audience actually receives. This mismatch can be reduced by gathering evaluations from others.
For instance, my feedback revealed that I often appear too serious and need to lighten up. This insight wasn't apparent to me initially, but repeated feedback highlighted its importance. Similarly, evaluations taught me to trim content from my speeches, recognizing that listening capacity is different from reading capacity.
When seeking evaluations for your speech or presentation, request specific feedback rather than general comments. Consider criteria like:
- Content suitability for the audience
- Vocal variety and pacing
- Posture and general demeanor
- Gestures and body language
- Eye contact
Tailor this list to your needs, focusing on specific areas to gain valuable insights for improvement.
These strategies apply to writing as well. Specific feedback is more beneficial than generic praise. For example, it's better to receive targeted assessments such as:
- Writing style (e.g., too formal or casual)
- Word choice
- Content length
- Content relevance
- Readability for the target audience
Many friends and colleagues are willing to provide feedback if asked. Approach this strategically to ensure you receive constructive input that will enhance your performance.
