HAVING EFFECTIVE FEEDBACK CONVERSATIONS

Do your leaders struggle with giving feedback? Skills, tools & frameworks for having meaningful & constructive feedback conversations.

 

This program provides leaders and managers with a range of tools and skills for having meaningful, specific and constructive feedback conversations. Participants learn how to use the IDEEA framework - a tailored model that brings the best feedback and coaching frameworks together in one robust, but flexible approach.

It is worth noting that this program includes a strong emphasis on adopting a very open, curious and ‘human’ approach to sharing feedback - being clear, but kind in their approach. In turn, this helps leaders to deliver feedback in a way that cultivates greater levels of trust, clarity, connection, and psychological safety.

The program includes opportunities for learning, reflection, discussion and skills practice. Participants also have unlimited access to a broad range of resources & tools to help them confidently go away and apply all of their skills and learning in ‘real life’.

Program Delivery Options

  • Can be delivered either in person or remotely (via Zoom)

  • Single vs. multiple session options available

  • Can include sessions on effectively receiving (not just giving) feedback

  • Content can be tailored to suit various feedback models, philosophies, or frameworks (such as Radical Candor)
