Trigger Alert: Building Confidence in Giving and Receiving Feedback
27 October 8:30am - 12:30pm
Why does feedback feel so hard, whether you’re giving it or receiving it?
The answer lies in our triggers.
Feedback often sparks emotional reactions that derail clarity, trust, and growth. It might feel wrong, come from the wrong person, or hit a little too close to home. That doesn’t mean it’s not valuable. It means we need the skills to pause, process, and respond with intention. This half-day workshop explores the three core triggers that derail feedback and gives you the tools to manage them with confidence.Small group format ensures tailored guidance, practical tools, and the chance to address your real-world scenarios.Whether leading performance conversations, offering peer feedback, or receiving tough input, you’ll learn to turn discomfort into insight, keep conversations constructive, and build stronger trust and clarity at work.
In this session, you'll learn why feedback isn’t the enemy, reactivity is:
Understand the three key triggers (truth, relationship, and identity) that shape how we respond to feedback
Recognise the difference between appreciation, coaching, and evaluation, and how unmet expectations can derail feedback Learn practical ways to receive feedback without shutting down or getting defensive Build confidence in giving feedback that’s clear, respectful, and actionable
Walk away with strategies to keep feedback conversations constructive, even when emotions run high
