ZenFeedback collects forward-looking ideas from the people who know you best — colleagues, mentors, friends — and helps you turn them into a real development plan. No ratings. No performance scores. No employer visibility. Just honest perspectives, owned by you.

Most feedback platforms were built for HR compliance — not for the person on the receiving end. ZenFeedback was built the other way around.
A complete loop: gather ideas → reflect → commit → act. Most feedback tools end at step two. ZenFeedback closes the loop.
Tell ZenFeedback what you're working on — a career move, a leadership challenge, a project, or something personal. Your focus shapes the questions.
Choose who to ask — anyone who knows you well. Your manager, a mentor, a former colleague, a client, a trusted friend. No organizational boundary required.
Givers answer short, thoughtfully framed questions about your future potential — not a post-mortem on the past. No ratings, no scales, just honest perspectives.
The integrated action planner helps you convert the best ideas into concrete implementation intentions: specific, time-linked commitments grounded in behavioral science.
Feedforward asks people to give ideas for the future rather than judgments of the past. It creates energy instead of defensiveness — and that is exactly the condition in which people grow.
Inspired by Marshall Goldsmith's Feedforward methodology
Whether you come to ZenFeedback on your own or through your employer, the experience is the same: the data is yours, the results are private, and growth is on your terms.
Take ownership of your development outside the annual review cycle. Ask the people who matter most what they see in your future.
Give your people a development tool that's genuinely theirs — completely separate from performance management. A benefit, not a system.
The reason people give honest development input is because they trust it won't be used against the person. We protect that trust — architecturally, not just by policy.
Organizations that provide ZenFeedback as a benefit can see aggregate usage stats — nothing more. Individual results, responses, and requests are never accessible to your employer.
Your feedforward history, development plans, and growth journey belong to you — not your current employer. Change jobs, change roles, your data stays yours.
Every person who shares ideas through ZenFeedback sees clearly: their response is private. Only the person who asked can read it. This is how honest, generous input happens.
