What is feedback training? – Giving effective feedback course

Everyone needs feedback. Feedback is valuable information that tells people how well they are doing, with respect to their goals. Feedback comes in two kinds: positive and negative. Nearly everyone likes to hear positive feedback, but most people do not like to hear negative feedback. The problem is made worse by the fact that most managers’ delivery of negative feedback is often clumsy and poorly worded, which makes their feedback sound like being told off, or insulted.

In order for feedback to fulfil its purpose of being perceived as valuable information, managers need to communicate it in a proper way.

This course teaches what feedback is, why it's important, and how to communicate it properly to improve individual and team performance.

The course content was very good. Initially worried it might be a bit 'airy-fairy' and not very practical, but I have learnt a lot, particularly the conflict wrong box/ right box. I feel a lot of it will be easy and do-able to put into practice. Vikki Poole

Feedback Training - Giving Effective Feedback Course Overview

On this course people learn to master the skill of giving constructive feedback in a professional, objective, and helpful manner, resulting in improved behaviours and better results.

Feedback is information that relates the results of our recent actions to our goals, coming in two forms: positive and negative.

Positive feedback indicates that our actions are effective, moving us closer to our goals, while negative feedback signals that our actions are not effective, or even counterproductive, suggesting a need for change in behaviour and plans.

The course emphasises the essential nature of feedback, particularly negative feedback. While most people are hesitant to hear anything negative about their performance and many are not good at giving constructive criticism, this course addresses these challenges.

Participants will learn to provide feedback that is constructive rather than destructive, avoiding demoralisation or anger and causing no emotional distress.

Learning Outcomes:

What is feedback and why is it important?
How feedback fits into the Continuous Improvement Cycle
How to give positive and negative feedback
Self-Image psychology: How to build people's confidence and motivation
How to offer constructive criticism (negative feedback)
How to set goals and gain their commitment to improve
Always finish on a positive - appreciate the good

Then later, we work together in groups.

There is always lots of interaction.

We are often told by delegates that the course seemed to fly by, which is always a great sign!

Delegates tell us the content is well designed, simple to understand and use.

The training is applied to real-life situations; it is beneficial and packed with useful knowledge. We are sure you will find this course interesting, well structured, practical and fun.

The feedback must be intended to empower, rather than disempower the receiver.
The feedback should be given in private, never in public.
It should be specifically worded, with concrete examples.
It should never be used to attack the character of the receiver.
It should always contain suggestions for how to improve upon the current situation.
