Beyond Feedback: Using Feedforward to Help Staff Grow<https://www.ohionet.org/event/beyond-feedback-using-feedforward-to-help-staff-grow?swcfpc=1>
Online Workshop on December 2, 2026 from 1-3 p.m. | $50.00 (Member) / $75.00 (Non-Member)

Traditional feedback usually focuses on evaluating past performance. This often leaves the person receiving feedback feeling defensive or discouraged. Feedforward complements feedback by shifting the conversation toward future actions, helping employees learn and grow with confidence.

This workshop is designed for anyone responsible for supervising, managing, or leading others. Participants will learn practical feedforward techniques to build trust, strengthen relationships, and support employee growth. Whether you’re conducting a performance review, coaching a new employee, or navigating a difficult conversation, you’ll leave with practical tools you can use right away.
