Direct feedback is gold — why you should collect it at your event

Great speakers aren’t born — they’re made. One of the fastest ways to get better is to hear directly from the people who experienced your session. Not the sanitized, weeks-late survey results, but honest impressions gathered while the experience is still fresh.

Here’s why direct feedback matters, and how Fidashi helps you turn those quick responses into real improvements.

Why direct feedback works

• It’s timely: attendees remember specifics right after a talk. That rawness gives you actionable detail instead of vague praise or vague criticism.
• It’s focused: asking short, pointed questions gets you the insights you actually need — pacing, clarity, energy, and what examples landed.
• It’s respectful and consent-driven: when done well, feedback is optional and fast. People appreciate being heard without being hassled.

Collecting feedback at the moment reduces recall bias and surfaces surprises you wouldn’t spot from your own perspective on stage.

Common problems with traditional feedback

Long forms, delayed surveys, and low response rates turn feedback into noise. Organizers often rely on one-size-fits-all questionnaires that miss the nuance of a single talk or workshop. That means speakers either don’t get anything useful — or they get too little to act on.

How Fidashi helps

Fidashi was built for one simple idea: make feedback instant and easy. Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• Quick setup: generate a QR code for your talk and share it on the slide or screen.
• Short, thoughtful prompts: designed to capture what actually helps a speaker improve — what worked, what didn’t, and one concrete suggestion.
• Real-time insights: responses show up when they matter, so you can review them immediately after the session.
• Privacy-first: attendees can respond anonymously if they prefer, and organizers control when and how feedback is collected.

That combination keeps participation high and keeps the feedback useful.

Ideas for using Fidashi at your event

• Add the QR to your first or last slide with a one-line invitation: “Tell me one thing I should keep doing and one thing I should change.”
• Use feedback for post-event iterations — tweak examples, reorder sections, or adjust pacing based on recurring themes.
• Share curated insights with your team or speakers (anonymized) to lift the quality across sessions.

Small habit, big returns

Collecting feedback doesn’t need to be a heavy lift. A short, consistent habit of asking for direct input after each talk compounds quickly. You’ll spot patterns, validate new ideas, and keep improving in ways that surveys alone rarely enable.

If you run events, host workshops, or give talks, Fidashi is designed to be the simple, respectful addition that helps people get better — faster.
