Activity 1 – Giving Feedback

 

Step 1

Working independently, divide a large sheet of paper into 4 sections. Think of 4 recent scenarios where you have been involved in giving feedback in your personal, professional, or community life. Make a quick note about the circumstances.

 

Step 2

Assess and make notes about each experience in terms of the Giving Feedback checklist (listed on the left side of the board). What was the purpose of this feedback? Was this a ‘fix it’, an ‘I feel’, or a ‘specific observation’?  

 

Step 3

After you have reflected on these 4 scenarios move into groups.
Have a group discussion about giving feedback at work. Reflect on ways that you can individually and collectively do better.
