Coaching and Developing Your Team:

Giving Feedback Effectively

Overview

Feedback is one of the most powerful tools leaders have for developing their teams — yet many avoid it or deliver it in ways that miss the mark. This workshop focuses on building the confidence and skills needed to provide feedback that is clear, constructive, and motivating. Participants will explore feedback techniques, practice conversations, and learn how to create a culture where feedback is seen as an opportunity for growth rather than criticism.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the role of feedback in coaching and team development.

  • Differentiate between positive reinforcement, constructive feedback, and corrective feedback — and know when to use each.

  • Structure feedback conversations using proven frameworks that balance clarity and empathy.

  • Practice delivering feedback that is specific, actionable, and motivating.

  • Overcome common challenges such as defensiveness, avoidance, or discomfort.

  • Foster a team culture where feedback is continuous, two-way, and growth-oriented.

Who Should Attend

This course is ideal for managers, supervisors, team leads, and emerging leaders who want to strengthen their ability to coach and develop their teams through effective feedback.

Format and Duration

This workshop is offered as a full-day course, providing participants with ample time to learn techniques, engage in practice activities, role-play real feedback conversations, and reflect on how to apply these skills in their own leadership practice.

Course Materials and Follow-Up

Participants receive:

  • A feedback toolkit with conversation templates, phrasing guides, and self-reflection questions.

  • Practice exercises and role-play scenarios to build confidence.

  • A post-workshop action plan for applying feedback strategies with their own teams.

Why This Course Works

This workshop moves beyond theory to give participants real-world practice in delivering feedback. Through role-play, peer coaching, and guided discussion, participants build the confidence to approach feedback with clarity, empathy, and impact. The result is stronger coaching relationships, higher team performance, and a more open and supportive workplace culture.
