Title: How to Give Great Feedback

Description: Imagine a GPS system designed to give feedback to super-sensitive people. What would it say when you take a wrong turn? What does that teach you about feedback in general and at work in specific?

 We’ll expand on lessons from a GPS for sensitive people into a very practical and useful set of tips and techniques to be able to give feedback people can hear.

• Learn six phrases to help you shift feedback into feed-forward
• The top five qualities of effective feedback
• How you can flip feedback into feed-forward to use the power of pull communication over the pressure of push
• When to guide and when to let people find their own way
• How to shift the focus from right and wrong to opportunities and possibilities
• One attitude shift you can make that will guide your words to be more effective

and much more.
