Tell Me More? Receiving and Giving Feedback

If I told you, “I have some feedback for you,” what is your first thought? How does it make you feel? Many of us have a negative response when we hear that phrase. While much attention has been placed on giving feedback (and we will discuss that, as well), this session will put more emphasis on receiving feedback. How can you prepare yourself and others to fully receive feedback? And we’ll even take it one step further and learn to ask for feedback.
