Workshop: Giving and Getting Feedback


Back to Package

Giving and receiving feedback, when done skillfully, is an act of compassionate leadership. As leaders, we take a stand for the growth of ourselves and others. We want to understand our impact and be open to new perspectives. We commit to offering feedback that helps our teammates grow. And yet both giving and receiving feedback is, for many, a topic that inspires dread. Janice Cunning and Margaret Katz Cann of Fundraising Leadership will present why feedback is an essential leadership skill.

They will take participants through the process, including these topics:
● Creating a culture of candor and feedback
● How to begin: asking for feedback
● How gossip gets in the way
● Offering more skillful feedback
● Filtering feedback … and deciding what to do with it
