LinkedIn post ideas about giving feedback

Feedback is one of the more underdeveloped skills in many 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 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 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 share what you said, share what you were thinking and feeling. The internal conflict makes the post human.
