Give feedback that helps others grow



In order for your team to perform well, bond and grow you want a culture of giving feedback. But sometimes we accidentally slide into complaining or criticism which brings down team morale and puts us off regular feedback. 
In this online workshop, Gemma will help you to feel more confident giving your colleagues the kind of feedback that will be constructive, well received and build trust in your team. 
What you will get from this 60-minute session:
Understanding the importance of good feedback 
Recognising the common barriers and pitfalls to good feedback
Examples of best practices for giving your feedback in constructive and supportive ways
Prompts and acronyms to build your confidence in giving feedback to your colleagues
The chance to practice reframing critical feedback into more constructive alternatives
This session is aimed at anyone who works within a team environment and wants to brush up on their feedback skills. 
This online session is designed to be as interactive as you wish. You are most welcome to ask questions, share challenges and discuss your ideas in order to get the most out of the session. You are equally welcome to listen in with your camera off. 
This session will be held on zoom – you will receive the meeting link a few days before the event.

We all know people are quick to judge – in fact neuroscience research suggests that it takes less than a second for first impressions to be made. Crucial skills need developing to establish credibility and make the impact you want, based on who you are and what is important to you.  Despite our best efforts, sometimes a work relationship or situation becomes challenging – what then?  You need to be assertive to get things back on track.  There is an art to doing this well and feeling proud of yourself for making your voice heard in the right way.

She loves irreverent wit, daring approaches in narrative or form, and seriously unsettling stories in equal measure, and if you can bring a few of those elements into one, it&rsquo;ll go straight to the top of her.2) Com-heavy rom-coms, whether in the dry but ultimately sob-inducing vein of&nbsp;Greta and Valdin&nbsp;or a Nora Ephron film, the escapist screwball delight of a Cary Grant classic, or the more unusual, genre-bending style of something like&nbsp;Palm Springs. I&rsquo;m a sucker for Emily Henry and will always be happy to see an innovative take on tropey love stories, but Daisy is equally very keen to see to things a bit outside of the box, whether that&rsquo;s integrating speculative elements, dark humour, or topical issues. In any case, humour and originality are my priority, and affectionately snarky bickering is the best way to make her fall head over heels with a couple.3) Sleuths! Daisy is not the right person for police procedurals, but loves classic detectives and amateur sleuths.
