Why Feedback is So Important to Leaders and Coaches & How to Overcome Barriers to Giving and Receiving Great Feedback
The information swirl we live in has placed a new emphasis on transparency in the work world. Millennial and ambitious employees are demanding immediate feedback from leaders and others, but ancient but ancient barriers to feedback have held back the flow of needed feedback. As coaches, we see the experience of our clients as they attempt to exchange feedback with people around them, and we ourselves experience face common "showstoppers" such as 'fight or flight' in the brain, limiting beliefs about feedback and the need for feedback skills.
This will be an interactive mini-workshop in which you'll have the opportunity to identify your "Feedback Belief Zone", learn a simple method you can use - and teach clients - to give great feedback and become aware of the brain science and become aware of fascinating recent trends that bring feedback into a new focus of our work.
