Building a culture of constructive feedback in my team - Joint event

“Feedback is the breakfast of champions” Ken Blanchard.

In studies feedback is consistently found to be culturally endemic in any high performing team.

However, there are so many doubts we may have before taking the feedback plunge…

• Why is it so hard?
• I must have said it a dozen times already.
• How do I prevent upsetting my team member?
• Will the situation improve or will I make it worse?

This list could go on!

This session will be useful on a macro level for anyone who wants to take the lead in instilling a feedback culture in their team, or on a micro level for anyone who wants to get those messages across in a way which retains, even builds, the relationship.

Format:

• We will start with useful tips which can be put into action straight away. This will include a light touch activity to create constructive discussion. The activity will be easy to use in your place of work.
• Then a tour around the centre, highlighting how activities can be used to make feedback easier and more constructive.
• Networking sandwich lunch for all visitors.
• Opportunity to do an outdoor activity for any who want to stay after networking.
