Definitions
To start, participants will learn some key terms about feedback. They will also explore some situations where different kinds of feedback would be needed.
Speaking Clearly
When providing feedback, you want to make sure that people are hearing what it is that you are saying. This session will help participants make sure that the language that they use is descriptive and clear. Techniques on staying neutral will also be discussed.
Communication Strategies
This session will help participants improve communication skills that are essential to giving good feedback, including questioning techniques, probing tools, and ways to manage their non-verbal messages.
Characteristics of Effective Feedback
Next, participants will learn about the six characteristics of effective feedback. We will also share a framework for formal and informal feedback discussions. Participants will then apply their new skills to a case study and to examples from their own lives.
Receiving Feedback Graciously
