  • 4/6 Session for Managers:Giving and Receiving Feedback

    Thursday, April 6th from 12:00pm - 1:00pm

    Annual reviews and evaluations are an opportunity for employees to reflect on their individual performance through the year and celebrate what they accomplished while also identifying areas for improvement.

     For managers, it is an opportunity to reward past performance and identify areas for growth so that their employees can be supported in achieving their potential. Although it is an opportunity for both sides to improve, often it is a conversation that is dreaded — not only by employees, but by managers as well.

    Join this session to:

    •Understand why feedback is important and why we dread it

    •Understand the role of self-reflection, self-awareness, and self-compassion

    •Look at irrational beliefs that get in the way of receiving feedback positively

    •Explore the implications of the fixed mindset vs. the growth mindset

    •Gain strategies to give feedback in a way that it will be received constructively
