Giving and Receiving Feedback: Constructive Follow-up

Giving and Receiving Feedback: Constructive Follow-up

Recorded March 2019 

About This Webinar

Giving and receiving feedback are not easy tasks for most of us. Yet they are necessary in helping us improve and communicate our goals. Often we avoid both giving and receiving feedback, but this will come at a cost and might lead to false perceptions of our skills and abilities. We will address how to use feedback in a constructive way so people can see the value of the process. Tips in giving feedback and using feedback to improve performance will be discussed.
