Description: One of the most important skills you can learn is giving, receiving, and soliciting feedback effectively. A large part of leadership is providing feedback to someone to clearly understand how well they’re doing or where they need improvement. You want to reinforce positive behaviors and correct ineffective ones. But, many of us often think of feedback as uncomfortable. Let’s face it; while the skillful exchange of feedback can be very fruitful, it can be challenging to be criticized, and it can be equally challenging to provide constructive feedback. However, suppose we embrace feedback as a developmental tool essential for improving performance. In that case, we can shift how we approach giving, receiving and soliciting feedback from a place of curiosity and kindness. Influential leaders provide feedback in such a way that it makes a positive difference. This engaging workshop addresses the skills and practices necessary to give, receive and solicit feedback. We will introduce a framework for providing both positive and constructive feedback. You will walk away with steps to follow in soliciting and receiving feedback with grace, ultimately changing how feedback is perceived in your workplace.

Learning Objectives:
• Understand the value of both praising and constructive feedback within an organization
• Discover the fundamental principles and skills needed to give, receive and solicit feedback effectively.
• Prepare and practice giving, receiving and soliciting feedback.
