Event Description

Title
Creating and Implementing a Culture of Feedback: Why It’s So Hard and What We Can Practically Do To Make It Easier

Presenter
Anna Young, Principal, Anna Young Consulting

We all know that, at least hypothetically, feedback is a gift. If no one tells me I have lettuce between my teeth, how do I know to take it out? If no one tells me that the way I show up in meetings is making people defensive, how can I change my behavior? And yet… most of us find it difficult to both give and receive feedback, even when we are talking about positive feedback. Did you know that the levels of stress for people who have to give feedback are similar to those who are receiving it? So it is hard whichever ‘side’ of the conversation you are on. 

In this 90-minute webinar, participants will:

• Look at the brain-science behind what makes giving and receiving feedback so hard,
• Participate in a practice session to learn and reflect on a tool that overcomes some of these challenges,
• Understand tips and strategies to make it more likely for feedback to be truly heard,
• Participate in small group discussions with your peers, and
• Think about ways to create a culture of learning and feedback within our organizations.

Automatic closed captioning via Zoom is turned on by default for all NAO virtual sessions. For other accommodation requests, please contact us at [email protected]. Advanced notice of at least 10 days is appreciated.
