      The Art of Giving Feedback

      Culture is the key to success. If you want an organization that is high performing and works great cross-functionally, then you need a culture of giving feedback. No matter the size of your organization, The Art of Giving Feedback is great for leaders at all levels, because EVERY leader needs to give feedback in a way that is influencing, inspirational, and most of all, impactful. This insightful 60-minute presentation creates a common language, and mindset, and equips leaders to break down communication barriers so they can lead themselves, lead others, and ultimately lead the business.

      The learning objectives will focus on how to:

      • Identify and recall 5 levels of the mindset
      • Learn the SEEN model to shift the mindset
      • Deliver feedback without creating conflict
      • Give praise/recognition using a feedback formula
