Giving and Receiving Feedback Training Course

Giving and Receiving Feedback Training Course

This comprehensive Giving and Receiving Feedback training is designed to transform the way individuals and teams approach communication and performance. Over five intensive days, participants will move beyond the fear and discomfort often associated with feedback, learning to see it as a powerful tool for growth and development. The course provides a safe and supportive environment to practice and refine these essential skills, empowering individuals to both give feedback that is clear, actionable, and kind, and to receive it with an open and receptive mindset.

Throughout the training, we will explore the psychological principles behind effective feedback and cover a wide range of topics, including specific frameworks for giving constructive criticism and positive reinforcement. We will also delve into techniques for actively listening to feedback, managing emotional reactions, and asking clarifying questions. The course will also address the unique dynamics of feedback within various relationships—from peer-to-peer to manager-to-subordinate—and culminate in extensive role-playing and a personalized action plan to ensure that participants can confidently apply their new skills in their daily professional lives.
