Giving and Receiving Feedback

Regardless of our role at work, giving and receiving feedback can be difficult. We might
know what feedback we would like to give, but how much of our own values or
insecurities rest in what we want to share? We might receive feedback that could benefit
us, but our ego shuts it down. The first step to both giving and receiving feedback is to
understand what it truly means to be self-aware. Without self-awareness, a person cannot
authentically provide feedback and cannot accurately receive feedback from others.
This training will take a closer look at self-awareness and will offer practical ways to both
give and receive feedback.

1. To understand that to effectively give or receive feedback, a person must be self-
aware
