LinkedIn post ideas about giving feedback

Feedback is the most underdeveloped skill in most workplaces. Posts about real feedback conversations — what worked, what backfired, and what you'd do differently — consistently get strong engagement because everyone struggles with this.

6 post ideas to try

  1. 1Share a piece of feedback you received early in your career that completely changed how you work.
  2. 2Describe the worst feedback conversation you ever had and what made it go sideways.
  3. 3Write about the difference between feedback that changed someone's trajectory and feedback that just checked a box.
  4. 4Tell the story of a time you avoided giving hard feedback and what it cost the team.
  5. 5Share your approach to giving feedback to someone more senior than you.
  6. 6Describe a feedback framework you tried that actually works in practice, not just in theory.

Example hooks to grab attention

“I once gave feedback so badly that the person cried, quit two weeks later, and was right to do both.”
“The best feedback I ever received was three words long. It changed my entire career.”

Tips for writing about this topic

  • •Use a specific conversation as the backbone of your post — abstract advice about feedback doesn't land the same way.
  • •Include what the other person said or did in response. Two-sided feedback stories are more interesting than monologues.
  • •Don't just share what you said — share what you were thinking and feeling. The internal conflict makes the post human.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write about feedback without making the other person look bad?
Change identifying details and focus on your own behavior and learning. 'I once told a direct report...' works without naming them. The post should be about your growth, not their flaws.
Are feedback frameworks too corporate for LinkedIn?
Only if you present them like a textbook. Wrap the framework in a real story — show how you used it in a messy, real situation, not a sanitized HR example.
What if my feedback experience is mostly negative?
That's actually better content. Posts about feedback gone wrong are more relatable and educational than posts about perfect conversations. Own the failures.
