Mastering the Art of Feedback

Learning Level: Manager
Format: Half-Day (3hr)
Delivery: Virtual
Online

Many people avoid feedback conversations or deliver them in ways that feel unclear, uncomfortable or overly cautious. The result is underperformance, strained relationships and missed opportunities to support growth and development. This course gives you the confidence and structure to approach feedback with clarity, purpose and impact.

Designed to develop your confidence and give you the structure and skills needed to make feedback conversations more effective and purposeful, this learning experience explores how to move beyond hesitation or overthinking, and instead approach feedback as a normal and valuable part of everyday leadership. You will learn how to prepare for conversations with your colleagues in the contact centre, choose the right language and adapt your approach depending on the situation and the individual.

The course also prepares you for handling different reactions with confidence, including defensiveness, disagreement or emotional responses, while maintaining clarity and professionalism throughout. You will explore how to stay focused on outcomes while remaining respectful, human and supportive, even in more challenging situations.

By the end, you will be better equipped to deliver feedback that is meaningful and effective, helping to improve performance, strengthen trust and working relationships and create a culture where feedback is welcomed as a positive and essential part of growth rather than something to avoid.
