The research is clear: most managers feel uncomfortable giving feedback to their colleagues– who actually want to hear it! Yet it is a requirement for all managers and a right to receive for all employees. Organisations with a culture of sharing helpful feedback are more likely to be thriving – it’s as simple as that.

This workshop helps participants build techniques for preparing and giving feedback, making is easy to deliver and useful to receive. We explore how to make feedback a conversation where recipients can leave feeling empowered and prepared to act upon the feedback. This in turn builds an environment where feedback is shared readily and regularly from a place of positive intent.

Participants will explore the impact of feedback on mindset whilst creating balance between formal and informal praise and improvement feedback. They will consider how to begin and structure their conversations when giving feedback along with dealing with less cooperative responses. They will leave feeling more determined and equipped to instigate more feedback conversations to improve performance and the wellbeing of their colleagues.
