EmailGiving High-Impact Feedback
- Virtual Instructor-led: 3-hour session
The foundation of all effective feedback is this: the intent to improve performance. Without this intention behind it, feedback can fall flat, becoming a missed opportunity for both growth and connection. Transformative change cannot happen without feedback, so it is important to create the conditions where the receiver can take it in, reflect on it, and learn from it.
In this highly interactive session we will explore the connection between effective feedback and employee engagement and performance. We will learn what constitutes a high-impact conversation, delivering feedback in a way that increases someone’s motivation and resources for change. Investigating several models and techniques for giving feedback, the session will culminate in small group role-play scenarios. Each person will have the opportunity to rotate through the roles of feedback giver, receiver, and observer.
