Giving Constructive Feedback

Are you tired of trying to motivate and encourage employees to do their best? Many managers think they are being helpful when providing feedback to employees but they don’t realize that it is the way they give feedback that is really the problem. Just think about it, there are really only two reasons for giving constructive (positive/helpful) feedback:

1. To recognize and encourage similar future performance (positive and motivating feedback)
2. To coach and improve a skill or behavior (helpful and encouraging/supportive feedback) Anything other feedback is likely criticism which is neither helpful or encouraging. In fact criticism itself is unhelpful and demotivating and discourages most people receiving it.

The focus of this seminar is to help you learn how to give feedback such that the other person:

1. Wants to hear it.
2. Can understand it and act on it.
3. Doesn’t get defensive or pushes back.
4. Respects your opinion and appreciates that you took the time to provide it. Knowing how to give corrective feedback constructively can be the difference between having employees who feel misunderstood, unappreciated, and unmotivated (and you totally frustrated) and having a motivated “I want to do my best team!”
