After the Meeting

It is common to talk about meetings afterwards. Sometimes it is to say how useless it was, or that you were bored, but there are times when someone might ask you for feedback. Other times, you might want feedback if you were the person holding the meeting. Let’s cover these here.

Asking for Feedback

"What did you think about my presentation?"
"Did you think the meeting went ok?"
"Can you provide feedback on the meeting we just had?"
"Did you find the meeting useful?"
"Did the meeting help to clarify the current situation?"
"Is there any part of our discussion during the meeting that you are still unsure about?"

Providing Feedback

Even if you think the meeting was boring and useless, you can’t say that unless you are talking to a close friend. Many times in the office, you have to give a professional answer.

"I thought the presentation went well. You provided great information and I think everyone was impressed."
"The meeting went well. We covered a lot of information and made some important decisions."
"The whole presentation went pretty well, but next time I would recommend that you talk a little slower. When we were running out of time, you started speaking too fast and it was hard to keep up."

"Most of the time, our weekly meeting is pretty dull, but today was quite useful."

"I understand what is happening to our project now, but I’m still unclear about exactly who is affected by this change."
