What others have to say about this course  

I really did enjoy this. I loved the points about Getting attention to our strengths from others catalyses learning whereas attention to our weaknesses smothers it. It is interesting to note however the differences in articles around feedback and the benefits of it.

Thanks Barbara - I took away a lot from this course particularly from watching the video between yourself and Bridget. I also really liked the clear outline of steps of mentoring and feedback conversations and something I will use moving forward.

This course has been helpful in looking at the ways in which feedback is delivered and the effectiveness of feedback when given in a positive manner. I now also have more of an understanding of observations and the techniques in which this happens especially when it comes to the feedback and discussions after.
