18 Comments on The secret to giving great feedback | The Way We Work, a TED series

    • Did any other viewers notice that a Dropbox ad plays before the presentation, then (at :50 in) the speaker gives an anonymous, uncredited assertion that was “powered by Dropbox”?
      And I give Dropbox $12 a month and I have to listen its long ads mysteriously wrapped in an enigma called TED?
      I am a donkey…..

  1. You know before I watch the video I have to ask did anybody else think of Ally Sheedy I heard giving great input to number five who was alive. OK I’m gonna watch the video now…

  2. 1 the micro yes question
    2 leave out the blur words
    Be specific
    3 impact statement
    4 wrap jt up in a commiment question.

    Extra- actively ask for feedback.

  3. Is TEDED just for Americans? Perhaps something more generalised or inclusive??? American narrators talk too high, in pitch, too fast and like they’re drunk. It is stressful to listen to.

  4. Technology, Entertainment, Design and the way We (the great, unwashed, and unknown We) work. I love feelings!
    Technology Entertainment Design, here’s a cool series idea: like, hear me out! How about a tech, entertainment, and/or (gulp!) design series!
    Totes rad!
    #metoo
    At :50 there is a box reiterating/endorsing the speaker’s assertion with no (0; zero) references…except the little box was Powered by Dropbox, and the speaker’s word for it.
    Drivel.
