PRAISE & CRITICISM - How to Effectively Provide Feedback (Even the Tough Kind!)

No leader can be successful without the ability to give effective and regular feedback to other employees and team members.

And we must be skilled at giving out both positive and negative feedback. While praise is easy to give, it is far more challenging and unpleasant to criticize your employees – sharing a message that is complex or on a sensitive subject.

And how you communicate praise and criticism can make or break your influence. You can't afford to be unclear or wishy-washy or even worse, let your feedback go unheard.

In this webinar, you'll learn techniques to provide effective negative and positive feedback. You'll learn how to balance your feedback and by the end of this webinar, you'll know how to give helpful and honest feedback (yep, even criticism) in a way that guarantees understanding and acceptance.

Feedback can be a double-edged sword. If it's botched, it can result in demotivation, decreased morale and permanent damage to the relationship. But with the best practices that you will learn in this webinar, you'll be able to provide feedback that inspires, uplifts and motivates the recipients to do and be their best.

Join us for this powerful audio presentation and learn:

• The right state of mind to communicate praise and criticism
• A guideline as to how much praise and criticism to communicate
• Language and behavior to effectively communicate praise and criticism
