Feedback That Feels Right
This session will give you the tips and mindset to help you deliver meaningful feedback, that doesn't feel like criticism.
Because when feedback is done well, it changes the culture of your teams and organization.
When it comes to creating a better company culture, a stronger sense of purpose, and personal and professional improvement for your teams, feedback plays a crucial role.
If you’re not giving feedback, how is anyone growing? Are too many gaps being left unsaid? Miscommunication is costly in time and dollars.
As a leader, you understand that and want to create more trust, connection, and drive. Effective feedback focused on growth and not judgment will have that effect.
Here are some recent statistics on feedback’s impact on organizations and their people:
• 90% of millennials want frequent, candid feedback (when done right)
• 92% of employees agree that when they’re recognized for a specific action, they’re more likely to take that action again in the future.
