Abstract

You know that moment when you would like to give someone feedback. And you instantly feel the discomfort at the thought? Or someone gives you feedback and you feel it like a personal attack? Or maybe you don’t get feedback that often.

​Giving and receiving feedback can feel like stepping into a hot mess.

​You hesitate for a moment—should I say something? Is it the right time?—is it the right place? Or maybe you do give feedback, but it lands the wrong way. And when you’re on the receiving end, it can feel more like a personal attack than a chance to grow.

​If any of this sounds familiar, this workshop is for you! Join to learn how to give and receive feedback with confidence, empathy, and impact—so you don’t have to wait and hope things improve on their own.

​By the end of the session, you will:

​✅ Master frameworks for giving constructive and uncomfortable feedback with confidence.

​✅ Practice real-life scenarios in a safe and supportive space.

​✅ Get instant, actionable feedback to refine your approach.

​✅ Walk away ready to navigate tough conversations and stand out in your career.

​Who is this workshop for?

• ​​Mid-senior level leaders: Team leads across diverse functions who want to level up. ​• ​​Unofficial leaders: Professionals wanting to get better at collaborating with others ​• ​​Cross-functionals: Individuals aiming to succeed at working in cross functional and diverse environments
