Feedback, Lecture 21.10.2026

Today we played a game: four people had to throw tennis balls into a bin for 45 seconds – blindfolded. During the exercise there were four different voices around them giving feedback.

It was interesting to see how differently the feedback influenced them. Some voices really helped, others only made it more confusing.

My reflection: Good feedback has to be clear, honest and come at the right moment. Too much feedback at the same time can be worse than no feedback at all.

My takeaway: Sometimes just ask a person you don't know for feedback. It is often more honest than feedback from someone who already knows you, because that person is already a little bit biased.
