Business Smarts · Giving & Receiving Feedback without Feeling Like Being at the Dentist
Many of us dread going to the dentist. Likewise, most of us dread giving and/or receiving feedback. We like to think that we are doing our best at work daily. However, it is a deep desire of humans to receive information. So why do we avoid feedback? Simple…. it’s uncomfortable! Sometimes, receiving (or giving) feedback can be as painful as getting a root canal!! But, it doesn’t have to be! With proper tools and practice, this necessary process provides an opportunity to strengthen the team and enhance individual effectiveness.
During this session, we will review information and share tools to assist participants in:
• Understanding the different types of feedback
• Getting comfortable with receiving feedback
• Implementing a personal feedback equation
• Creating a non-confrontational approach to feedback
• Sharing feedback up-, down-, across the organization
After the training, participants will be prepared to embrace feedback and may even look forward to their annual check-ups at the dentist!
