August FGN Call: Embracing Feedback: Tools and Strategies for Growing Your Comfort and Confidence

Information and resources to help you deliver and receive feedback constructively.

Feedback: it’s a word that evokes strong feelings. Whether it’s something that we try to avoid, something we struggle to give (or receive), or something we seek to get better at, it’s an ever-present and vital form of communication too. While feedback can be uncomfortable and require courage, doing so with respect invites trust, improved outcomes, and engagement. 

In our session, we will explore a framework for feedback and tools that we can utilize daily to better communicate our needs, expectations, and goals with each other. Join us to dive into this vital skill set and build your confidence giving and receiving feedback!
