ASK FOR ONE THING

Andrea Pacini —

I once heard Adam Grant say that he doesn’t accept a perfect ten when asking for feedback.

Why?

Because there’s always room to improve.

Perfection doesn’t exist.

After every podcast appearance, he asks the host, “What’s one thing I could’ve done better?”

He wants to improve. Bit by bit. Episode by episode.

Now imagine doing the same after every presentation.

Instead of just hearing, “Well done,” try asking yourself: What’s one thing I could do differently next time?

That question changes the conversation. It invites real, useful feedback.

It helps you grow.

If you want to become a stronger presenter, take feedback seriously.

Make it a habit. Ask better questions. Use what you learn.

The difference between good and great is the willingness to keep improving.
