From the moment we are born, we are both receiving and giving feedback. Feedback from family and friends shapes us when we are young and continues to play an important part in our adult lives.
Considering that feedback contributes so much to who we are and who we are becoming, I find it very surprising that so little attention is paid to how effectively we deliver, receive, and act on feedback at work, and elsewhere.
To help deliver specific feedback sincerely and supportively I’ll outline some simple yet profound principles that will help transform your approach to feedback. An easy way to remember the approach is FAST:

In our series on Presentation Management, we look at how presentation management evolved from one-and-done to becoming an enterprise asset. We also explore whether all pictures are really worth a thousand words? In the third part of the Presentation Procrastinators series, Kevin Lerner suggests ways to collaborate with busy executives. We also look at 7 hacks for college presentations. We explore the color, blue–and then look at RGB colors in decimal and hexadecimal values.

This is part 3 of a series that looks at Presentation procrastinators. Read the first and second parts here.
Busy executives typically don’t have the time to create a PowerPoint presentation, but if you let them know it can be faster and easier without challenging or eating into their schedule, then the presentation will go much more smoothly, with their collaboration.
Draw on your experience and creativity—and let them know you’re there to help, assist, and support them as a collaborator and coach. Let them know that you can work as a basic presentation designer—or a full-fledged partner in collaborative content—and design value along the way.
If they’re worried or concerned they don’t know what to say or don’t have the time to develop a presentation, encourage them to relax and not stress. However, emphasize the need to ‘not delay, do it today.’
