The Overlooked Skill of Receiving Feedback

1x 2.5hr session (9:00AM – 11:30AM) 

Hosted by Zandy Fell

But why then is it something we don’t always captialise on?  How we give feedback is important, but the magic is in how you receive it.  How well do you really receive feedback?  What do you do with your power to control what you do with it?

This interactive workshop will guide you through:

• The individual’s role and responsibility in participating in conversations and receiving feedback
• Buying into the nature and purpose of feedback – finding WIIFY
• Exploring the art and science of better conversations through The Zalt Group’s 4 Quadrant model
• Practical strategies for overcoming why you find giving and receiving feedback difficult and how to coach others
• Refining your receiving feedback mindset
• Increasing your skill in unpacking and deciding what to do with feedback.  For example;
  • Identifying the types of feedback (coaching, appreciation, evaluation) and the role they play
  • How to avoid relying on assumptions
  • What to do with “false” feedback
• Consider how to proactively create a feedback culture for yourself and your team

My eyes have been opened to new tools that can be used when approaching difficult conversations. I would recommend this course for all staff on the receiving end of difficult conversations and not just management!

Zandy coached me after a difficult workplace situation. Working with Zandy challenged me on how I view work and how I view myself as a person.  Initially I thought it would be about me learning new skills but it was more about Zandy helping me to approach things differently. Her holistic approach really stood out.
