Giving so-called "good" feedback is a core competence for successful leadership and cooperation. Feedback can be given not only by the supervisor to the staff member, but also among colleagues (laterally) or from the employee to the supervisor. Feedback works in all directions - it usually only becomes successful when great attention is paid to the "how". This practical workshop will therefore focus on the "how": After brief input, we will discuss and analyze various situations – preferably based on your own experiences. We will evaluate what works and what doesn’t. Together we will analyze how the various approaches will affect our counterpart and how they can influence the further course of the conversation.

The goals of the practical workshop are

• to give you more confidence in dealing with feedback situations,
• to give you some useful tools that you can use in different situations,
• give you space to try things out and interact with peers,
• discuss your concrete questions and situations to be clarified.
