A Leader's Guide to Mastering Feedback
Joan (Joni) Hibdon

Transform Relationships and Results One Conversation at a Time
NEW for April's Program: Member Virtual Attendance Option!
People Want Feedback. And They Need it to Grow.
Feedback is a crucial communication skill. But fear of getting it wrong often holds us back from speaking up. When facing a challenging conversation at work, you may be thinking, “What if my feedback causes a meltdown—or they quit?”
While it’s tempting to avoid that discussion, that’s not the solution. Leaders have a responsibility to find a way to connect with their employees and others in an artful, compassionate, and courageous manner that transforms relationships and results.
With over three decades as a human resource professional and executive coach, the #1 question Joan Hibdon gets asked is this: “I need to give someone feedback, but I don’t know what to say. What do I do?”
During this program, Joan will offer answers to that question. With empathy and insight born of experience, she shows us exactly why, how, and when to offer feedback to achieve the results we want.
In this session you'll discover and takeaway:
-
The nuances and importance of feedback.
-
What gets in the way of our giving feedback.
-
How to offer the right feedback to the right person, at the right time.
This presentation is packed with surprising ways to look at feedback, real-life stories, proven practices, research, and reflections. You will learn how to put feedback back where it belongs—at the center of a thriving workplace.
