So that you never dread, over think or avoid giving feedback again.
Giving and receiving feedback are crucial for personal development, motivation and job satisfaction. However, it’s people’s reactions to feedback and not the feedback itself that determines how it affects performance.
Even though it’s so important, the act of giving feedback is one that many people avoid for fear of stoking conflict. It can be tough to be on the receiving end too – if it’s positive we tend to dismiss it and if it’s constructive it can be hard to hear.
Course Description
Learn how to give feedback to enable and empower.
This Feedback Skills workshop starts by dipping into the psychology of feedback to help us understand why we feel and react the way we do.
It teaches delegates how to give feedback in such a way that enables and empowers the recipient, without causing undue worry in advance. And it gives tips on how to invite, receive and act on feedback graciously.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the workshop you will be able to:
- Understand the impact of feedback on self and self-development.
- Understand some psychology of feedback and how to use this to overcome obstacles when delivering and receiving feedback.
- Know how to use a range of models when giving feedback – and how to adapt your approach when feeding back remotely.
- Learn how to invite, receive and process feedback.
Benefits to your business
Giving and receiving feedback is crucial to the operation of any organisation.
Quality is maintained, ultimately, by people interacting with one another and continuously reinforcing your organisation’s culture and standards.

“I really enjoyed learning about the new models and techniques around delivering feedback. This was my initial goal when starting the training and it really all came together.
