Giving and Receiving Informal Feedback
The Benefit of Open and
Honest Two-Way Feedback
Program Highlights
A situation came up where I received constructive feedback from a co-worker and my initial reaction was to be defensive. I realized I have never taken the time to reflect on feedback that I receive. Prior to your meeting, I would have gone into the defensive mode, but instead I thanked her and took the weekend to reflect and put an action plan together so in the future I don’t alienate anyone when working in a group.
I worked with my team on how I felt I failed them in a meeting where I didn't know enough on the topic to be able to help them like I needed. I asked them questions around what I didn't know and asked for their opinion on how they would have wanted to see me approach the situation differently for future calls.
If I had done this two years ago, I wouldn't be divorced right now.
This course was engaging and fun while providing critical skills to leaders. I really enjoyed the dynamic of the group activities and the collective mindset that we build where feedback is an exciting gift.
