Feedback: Gift or Grind?

When you hear, “Can I offer some feedback,” what is your immediate reaction? Do you ready your defenses and prepare for battle? Do you get your favorite note-taking apparatus ready to glean insights from the wisdom heading your way?

Feedback is a natural part of everyday life. For some reason, when it moves to the corporate space it often becomes a different animal entirely. Just the mention of it can intimidate or bring on anxiety. In this session we will identify obstacles and provide some best practices for providing, receiving, and asking for feedback. You will work in small groups to identify default feedback methodologies and any potential areas for growth. If feedback is truly about growth, then we as leaders need to make sure that feedback is given in a way that sets our team up to win.

In this session you will learn:

• Best practices for providing, requesting, and receiving feedback
• What feedback is (and isn’t)
• Resources to help improve your feedback game
