17i: How to Understand The Public Talk Feedback You Get

LifeLabs Learning developed a rubric to define four kinds of feedback on a public talk.

• Hearts ♥️: Positive, but not specific. (I liked your talk)
• Diamonds ♦️: Positive, specific, and actionable. (Your talk is good. If you do this, it can be great)
• Spades ♠️: Negative, actionable suggestions.
• Clubs ♣️: Negative, not specific or constructive.

Always look for Diamonds♦️ and Spades ♠️.
