Feedback is essential to growth and can empower and motivate individuals and teams to take action; it is a cornerstone of effective performance management. Feedback can be hard to give and also challenging to seek. This interactive workshop highlights the value of effective feedback, explores different methods and allows opportunity to practice.

You will discover the tools, techniques and behaviours needed to achieve the changes you want to see and, to create a culture of growth and continuous learning that is inspiring and motivating for their teams.
