Ep42: Rethinking the Feedback Loop

Written By Nicki Hambleton

Rethinking the Feedback Loop: How to read the room you can’t see.

What happens when you present online, but your audience is all together in a room you can’t see?

In this episode, Nicki shares the story of presenting a visual-thinking workshop to a group of art teachers in Singapore, but one thing was missing: the feedback loop.

We explore:

  • Why online-to-room teaching feels so different

  • The psychology of micro-feedback and invisible cues

  • What happens when you lose the ability to “read the room”

  • Practical visual-thinking strategies to rebuild connection remotely

  • What to do differently to keep the loop alive

  • How roles, sketch-stops, warm-up games, and visual debriefs revive engagement

Whether you’re a teacher, trainer, facilitator, or leader, this episode will help you rethink how to create connection, especially when you can’t see the people you’re presenting to.
