Giving & Receiving Feedback: Discover How to Make These Conversations Easier for Both of You

 

Feedback is an opportunity to strengthen trust, improve performance, and deepen professional relationships. The goal of this workshop is for participants to understand that giving and receiving feedback is not one-size-fits-all. Participants will learn how to set the stage ahead of delivering corrective advice. They'll reflect on what they need to feel safe and comfortable receiving feedback, and they'll learn how to customize their feedback for anyone on their team, including their manager.

 

Participants will learn the basic steps to giving meaningful feedback in a way that feels safe for both the giver and the receiver. They will explore the importance of positive reinforcement/encouragement as the first step in offering feedback. They will walk away with questions they can use to start any feedback discussion.
