Program Overview: 
In this program John will review/explore the strategy and tactics of giving and receiving feedback.  Feedback is the core of practical communications.  Strategically we will consider Ferdinand Fournies’ (Coaching, p. 103) proposition that “…giving specific feedback is the cheapest, quickest, and most effective intervention for improving performance.”  Then we’ll look at the actual tactics that make feedback work both for others and for receiving feedback ourselves.

Program Objective: 
The program participants will come away with a heightened awareness of the critical importance of the feedback process and learn specific skills and tactics for both giving and receiving effective feedback.
