Optimising Performance Through Hard Conversations

Overview

Perhaps the most fundamental aspect of developing high performance is the delivery of high quality and meaningful performance feedback.  Yet feedback is often avoided, watered down or poorly delivered.  In this workshop you will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to maximise the performance of individual staff members with a specific focus on performance feedback conversations. Participants will come away with strategies and practical tools to immediately implement back in the workplace.

This workshop is not a “how-to” for performance management reviews. It is about the regular, ongoing feedback conversations you will have with your staff throughout the year. In particular, you will learn strategies that will build your confidence in providing feedback to the most challenging underperformers.

This workshop is targeted at managers who seek to optimise performance of their teams through quality feedback.  All people managers would benefit from the insights gained in this workshop by developing high impact feedback conversations that build self-awareness, engagement and action.
