Practical Tools for the Feedback Conversation
Practical Tools for the Feedback Conversation
- Skills Academy
Practical coaching tools to make feedback clearer, easier, and part of everyday performance conversations.
Feedback is essential for performance, but it’s often avoided or handled poorly. Not because people don’t care, but because it can feel uncomfortable, personal, and risky.
This session focuses on what’s really getting in the way. We explore how social pressure, fear of judgement, and mindset shape how we give and receive feedback, and why this impacts trust, performance and connection across teams.
Participants will reflect on their own feedback mindset using the Rising Vibrational Scale and consider how their thoughts, emotions and behaviours show up in real conversations.
