LET'S START WITH A SELF-REFLECTION

Think about the feedback you received at the end of module 3

Take 1 minute to self-reflect! - What was the first emotion I felt during the feedback? - Was it a pleasant or unpleasant emotion? - Why did I feel that emotion? - What did I learn?

‘‘Write it all on your notebook''

When you show deep empathy toward others, their defensive energy goes down, and positive energy replaces it. That’s when you can get more creative in solving problems

GIVING FEEDBACK IN A CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT

CASE 1

- How to give feedback to your line Manager

IT IS NOT

Gather objective arguments and valid facts. Be specific. Be factual and express what you see.

Prepare yourself

Give feedback privately. In front of other team members, you’re risking activating your Manager’s defense barriers.

Initiate a 1:1 meeting

Don’t focus on the mistake

Let the conversation be about the solution of the problem – share ideas on how to better the situation.

Use ‘’I‘’ statements

People get defensive quite easily when they are the centre of negative attention. Introduce the problem from your point of view.

Bonus hint

A good approach would be to put your Manager in the role of advisor – ask for their advice.

Let’s practice!

Select the best response

GIVING FEEDBACK IN A CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT

- How to give feedback that sticks

CASE 2

Imagine this scenario: you offer feedback and expect to see an improvement, but there is no change. You try again a few times and at some point, you give up. Why did nothing change? Well, the recipient doesn’t care about your feedback.

Here is the solution

Why?

  • Every behaviour has multiple impacts
  • Find the one that the other person cares about
  • Adapt your feedback on that basis

Because the impact of their behaviour is less important to them than it is to you.

Let’s practice!

Select the most appropriate response.

HELP THE FEEDBACK RECEIVER TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

If you use generic words like “always”, you can cause a person to stop listening… and they won’t hear what else you have to say

Change to an informal environment

Take it as a learning experience no matter what kind of feedback it is

HELP THE FEEDBACK RECEIVER TO UNDERSTAND

Without examples, there is a chance they will misinterpret what you are saying

Change from face-to-face to written form

Ask another person to do it

HELP THE FEEDBACK RECEIVER TO ACCEPT AND ACT UPON IT

Even if a person has accepted it; it can take time to change. You can support them by recognising their efforts.

Change from face-to-face to written form

Show your desire to evolve and improve

4 REASONS WHY YOUR FEEDBACK DOESN'T WORK

Here is how to make feedback effective!

1 | Make sure people listen Don’t generalise Don’t use generic words like “always” or “never”

2 | Help people understand you Be specific and factual Give a recent example

4 | Help people change There is a huge gap between awareness and change Don’t expect change overnight Be supportive and recognise their efforts

3 | Allow time for acceptance Be patient Give people time to process

Let’s practice feedback!

Choose a person you feel comfortable with. It can be a colleague, a family member or a friend.

You each have 60 seconds to provide feedback on something you observed or experienced during the day. After the exercise, share your feedback experience and what you learned with each other.

This is a fun exercise to do, let's go!

Let’s practice giving feedback to your line Manager!

Think about positive or constructive feedback you would like to share with your Manager.

Prepare your feedback with the help of the A.I.R. method (refer to module 2 for a reminder if needed). Ask your Manager if you can share it with them.

Let’s go!
