Key Appraisal Skills
Yours to explore over the coming months
Workshop: Owning Feedback
In modern working cultures, feedback is a must-have; the ultimate learning tool. It's something we must continually improve our ability to share and to absorb at all times. As well as landing it clearly with those around us, we've got to regularly pull it in, rather than waiting for it to be pushed our way. By the end of this session — led by coach, facilitator Katy Kent — you'll feel more confident and capable to effectively give and receive performance enhancing feedback, positively impacting your most important relationships.
Workshop: Having Effective 1-1s
1-1s are inclusive spaces to set goals and create mutual understanding and trust within our teams. And, with the right guidance, they're turbo-chargers of productivity, purpose and positivity. In this virtual and hands-on session, we'll work through the cornerstones of an effective 1-1's, share the science backed drivers of engagement, and show you exactly how to get the most from them.
