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 that is focused on growth and not on judgement will have that effect.
Here are some recent statistics of 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.

If you're looking to break the cycle of stress, enhance efficiency, productivity, and perhaps even find a little more happiness, this session is for you. Set yourself up for success.

Plug into your HI (Human Intelligence): Elevate your Communication Game

'HI' (human intelligence) skills are going to be vital to communicate effectively, motivate and collaborate.

Do what AI can't do and master your ability to adapt and pivot.

It's time for you to plug in your HI, and elevate your communication game.

Discover how to build your awareness, ability to listen for clues and cues, use cognitive empathy, and ask the questions that Google and ChatGpt can't answer. 

This creates meaningful collaboration and genuine connection.

We unconsciously ask others to be ‘mind readers’, then our expectations are not met or understood, and we get frustrated and disappointed.
This leads to an escalation of emotions.… the communication stalls.

You want to influence change, and shift behaviors, this starts with plugging into your HI.

AI can’t deepen the relationship, or understand the nuances of a question or a statement.

Humans can, but we need to be more effective.

Great for leadership, teams, sales interactions.

"So You Think You Can Listen"

"How listening for accuracy, and NOT your assumptions will change the flow of conversation and convert the other person from resistant to willing.
The high cost associated with poor listening is estimated at 60% of all management problems and we misinterpret or change 70-90 % of what we hear.
Feeling listened to and understood is pivotal when making connections and moving forward with a customer, working with a team or managing others.
The ability to influence and build trust in negotiations, difficult conversations or trying to get ‘buy-in’ starts with listening like the stakes are high, miss this crucial moment and the conversation just spins!
In this interactive session, participants will engage and explore 4 different types of techniques some used by actors + build emotional intelligence strategies to get results."
