But heres a cheeky peek to give you a taster…

A weight with F on it for feedback

According to research, giving feedback in the correct way can improve team work, personal relationships and boost individuals’ confidence. It can improve trust and transparency and help create engagement. It can help a company and its packed-with-potential-people thrive.

Done badly — well, most of us have suffered due to badly handled feedback…

I want to share my work-in-progress learnings about doing feedback well to help create healthy work environments. I have travelled the path from being feedback averse to actively seeking it. I will not lie it was not always smooth or comfortable, but it was worth the effort and I feel I have come through stronger and I like to think a little more rounded as a person.

The following (hopefully) easy to digest cards are designed to help you and your team give and receive feedback well.

I hope they help you to create or grow your feedback culture.

There are 4 sections:

  • Giving Feedback
  • Receiving Feedback
  • A few feedback models to help
  • Feedback triggers

Below are a few sample of the cards, but the full set of cards are available in this link

These cards have been designed to help teams and individuals with feedback in their working lives! They are based on my experience at Hyper Island whilst I was the Director of the Masters courses, plus my personal journey learning to give and receive feedback and reading research into incredible leaders in the field such as Marshall Rosenberg (NVC), Humble Inquiry Edgar H Schein, Susan Wheelan, Charles Duhigg, Smarter Faster Better, David Rock and Ed Batista

Inspired by the team feedback GDS Cards there are many more but these are great starters…
