Description
We all receive feedback, but we can't control who gives it to us. For that reason, you’re likely better off investing in how to receive feedback than in how to give it.
Why Is Feedback So Difficult?
If you're like most people, feedback can be difficult to receive, and it doesn’t always come from people who are good at giving feedback. Even if you already know that receiving feedback is important to both your personal and professional development, you're probably still left wondering "Why is receiving feedback so difficult and anxiety-ridden, and how can I get better at making use of the feedback I receive?”
What The Course Covers
This course, “Feedback Jiu-Jitsu: The Art & Science of Receiving Feedback,” is designed to help you receive feedback graciously and act on it visibly for your personal and professional growth. In the course, we’ll address the following points.
Why feedback is critical to your career.
How neuroscience explains your body’s reaction to feedback and how to better control that response.
Six moves that can help you avoid the fight-or-flight response to feedback and even feel comfortable seeking feedback.
How these six moves can even be used to make you a better feedback giver.
Feedback Exercise with Instructor Guidance
The course includes an hour of video presentations, along with a real feedback exercise to practice applying what you have learned. The exercise includes the opportunity for guidance from the course instructors. You will receive guidance as you ask someone you know for feedback on a specific area and can actually apply what you have learned!
Who this course is for:
- Is the idea of receiving feedback scary? Do you wish you could use feedback better? Or do you want to be better at giving feedback? It seems like this should be easy, but you're pretty normal if it isn't for you. This course will provide simple "moves" you can use both when receiving and giving feedback, allowing you to receive it graciously and act on it visibly--which creates growth opportunities.
