We can do better than the poo sandwich: move beyond constructive criticism to deliver feedback that actually leads to improvement” - Online Classroom

Seminar Description

Feedback from others is vital to learning and improving a skill.
While many would agree with this statement, many would also agree they would rather clean a toilet than give or receive feedback. Feedback, when done well, is so valuable for growth. But the reality can vary from helpful to at times even downright hurtful. In this talk, you’ll move beyond unhelpful platitudes, or worse, criticism sandwiched between compliments. You’ll learn and practice using a process to consistently provide productive feedback in any area that you give it - whether that is for an outdoor skill or to an office colleague.
