This one-day Feedback Skills course provides a practical, hands-on approach to delivering clear, constructive feedback with confidence. Participants will learn how to provide feedback that motivates improvement, manage difficult conversations effectively, and respond professionally to different reactions and behaviours. Through practical exercises and real-world scenarios, learners will develop the skills needed to build stronger relationships, improve performance, and create a positive culture of continuous growth and development.
Giving and receiving feedback is essential for improving performance, but it can be challenging. Effective feedback highlights strengths, pinpoints areas for improvement, and motivates teams without being critical. This course is for emerging and existing leaders, anyone with reporting responsibilities, and those who want to provide feedback more effectively. Participants will gain the skills and confidence to deliver clear, constructive feedback, turning even difficult conversations into opportunities for growth and better performance.
