CEO of StartHuman to Discuss the Key to Effective Feedback

RENO, Nev. - Oct. 9, 2016 - PRLog -- How effective is feedback?  Research has proven that when properly delivered, feedback significantly enhances both performance and achievement.  In this talk, Amber Barnes will discuss the science of feedback and the three essentials for project managers.

Feedback is arguably one of the most important competencies needed for leadership and performance management. It is a process that derives high performance, fuels motivation and when done effectively strengthens and improves relationships. Unfortunately, feedback is also among the most difficult competencies to master. We live in a culture where soft skills are minimized. Most people are lucky if they receive training on how to give feedback, let alone how to receive feedback.

As a result of this presentation, participants will walk away with:

• Ways to self-manage and receive feedback well
• A model for promoting high quality motivation during feedback
• Four skills for creating psychological safety with feedback
