Critical feedback is not always easy to give, and can be even tougher to receive. In this experiential giving and receiving feedback training, participants will re-acquaint themselves with feedback, learning to see it as a positive, necessary force. They’ll learn how good intentions can backfire when managers are too nice and employees end up blindsided later, and conversely they’ll learn the dangers of being too direct. We’ll look at the major models for giving and receiving feedback - ones that show team members that you care while articulating impact on the company. And as with all GoldJam workshops, we keep our giving and receiving feedback training fun and interactive despite this typically uncomfortable topic. We’ll also challenge participants to do the same, and rewire their negative associations with feedback into positive ones.
