Feedback Learning Labs

Overview

Most teams, organizations, and groups acknowledge the importance of giving and receiving feedback on a regular basis. However, outside of performance reviews, it’s rare that members actually exchange feedback and hear how they are impacting others. This creates a dearth of information that can be detrimental to the group’s functioning since feedback that isn’t shared or integrated often shows up as tension and conflict later on. In these four 90 minute interactive workshops, participants will explore and practice simple communication models that will increase their confidence in giving feedback with more frequency and a greater sense of skill. Below is a brief outline of the topics to be covered in each session.

This four-session workshop was offered twice in Spring 2022. The first series was on Tuesdays in February 2022 from 11am-12:30pm. The second offering was on Tuesdays in March and April, from 11am – 12:30pm, starting 3/29. In total, 26 people participated in these workshops.

This training was open to employees of all Network organizations. We asked participants to commit to attending at least the first two sessions, as skills learned in these labs built off previous sessions.
