    The Gift of Critical Feedback

    Do you see critical feedback as a "gift"? Giving and receiving feedback is an essential capability for people - leaders and team members alike, and it plays a key role not only in team effectiveness, but also in strengthening client relationships and supporting business growth. It's also one of the most challenging interpersonal skills to develop. In this "train-the-trainer-style" workshop, participants will explore practical tactics for effectively giving "the gift" of critical feedback as well as how to receive feedback from others with gratitude, empathy and confidence.

    Learning Objectives:
    -Identify common misconceptions and flaws related to giving and receiving a "critique"
    -Explore tactics for addressing defensive reactions and other factors that deter honest, authentic feedback
    -Learn to coach proven methods for giving and receiving critical feedback
    -Recognize how effective feedback can strengthen client relationships, uncover opportunities and support long-term business development
