Feedback often focuses too much on the past and puts people in a defensive mindset. Feedforward shifts the focus to action helping to make conversations beneficial for staff growth and engagement. In this two-hour interactive online workshop leaders, managers,
and supervisors will learn how to use feedforward conversations to inspire performance and build trust with those that they supervise.</div>
