From Silence to Candor: The Feedback Training Workshop
Managers avoiding tough talks? Build a culture of radical candor and constructive feedback through structured practice.
About this session
When managers avoid difficult conversations to spare feelings, they unintentionally allow performance gaps to widen and resentment to build. This workshop transitions teams from silence to active practice, giving them a repeatable framework for delivering direct, constructive critiques. Participants leave with the muscle memory needed to address friction immediately rather than letting it fester.
Why it works
The session bypasses abstract theory by requiring participants to rehearse specific feedback scenarios in a low-stakes environment. This structured repetition desensitizes the social anxiety associated with 'tough talks' and establishes a shared vocabulary, ensuring that candor becomes a predictable team standard rather than an unpredictable personal attack.
What you’ll walk away with
- Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
- Increased participant engagement and buy-in
- Documented decisions and next steps
- Improved team alignment on the topic
