Comms Lab: Feedback that sticks
Comms Lab: Episode 17
How to Give Feedback that Actually Sticks.
In this video, we explore how to give feedback that actually sticks. The secret to success is a skill that we frequently neglect, and yet when we apply it, it has the potential to supercharge the effectiveness of our feedback.
If you’re still using the proverbial “sh*t-sandwich” or even the ubiquitous Pendleton method to give feedback, it’s time to get out of the last century.
We take a deep dive on a better way to approach feedback, and examine 5 specific ways you can deploy this skill, to maximise the chance your feedback actually results in long term behavioural change.
Got a different opinion on this? Great – I’d love to see your feedback. Put it in the comments section below.
