Feedback has been described as the “breakfast of champions,” but does the thought of receiving it make you lose your appetite? Join us to learn how to give and receive feedback effectively.

When you're the head honcho such as a small business owner or nonprofit executive director, you may know how to give feedback, but do you know how ask for and listen to feedback from your clients? From your staff? From consultants you hired to do just that? And are you sure that the feedback you give to employees is constructive?

In this webinar, you'll learn:

  • What feedback is
  • How good you are at giving it
  • The perils of criticism
  • Receiving feedback
  • Common emotional responses to feedback
  • How to avoid defensive inner speech

 


Who Should Attend?

Small business owners, nonprofit leaders, and consultants who want to improve  performance -- their own and that of their organizations -- by tapping into the knowledge and opinions of others.
