Course description
Giving and Receiving Feedback
One of the most under-rated skills of all time, the ability to give and receive feedback is a core skill required by everyone, especially those who have the responsibility for managing others.
When you are asked, &'Can I give you some feedback?' what is the first thought that goes through your head? In most cases it will be &'what have I done wrong?'. This is at the heart of the matter. Because we tend to associate feedback with negativity, we try to avoid it or we do it badly.
This workshop is very practical in its nature, giving participants an opportunity to practise and structure a feedback conversation that leaves them with an effective outcome.
