The Power of
Feedback teaches
you how to master the art of receiving feedback so you can improve your
performance, relationships, and career growth.
Peter's exciting
presentation on The Power of Feedback
begins with a brief review of research studies that show exceptional companies
have higher levels of feedback and debate than mediocre companies.
Unfortunately, the stark reality is that most people aren’t very good
at giving or receiving feedback. This applies both to positive feedback
(praise, thanks, recognition) as well as negative or critical feedback
(confronting poor performance).
In Peter's program,
audience members learn that feedback conversations are essential. They force
you to face reality, confront the problems that are causing your team to underperform,
and rise out of the swampland to a higher level of productivity – and a
more enjoyable work environment. With learning and practice, you can turn
your feedback conversations into productive dialogue that promotes strong
relationships and great results, rather than destructive discussions that
lead to mediocrity and frustration.
