Feedback is a way to let people know how effective they are in what they are trying to accomplish, or how they affect you. It's not about telling people what's wrong with them!
Effective feedback provides a way for people to learn how they affect the world around them, and it helps us to become more effective. If we know how other people see us, we can overcome problems in how we communicate and interact with them. In all feedback encounters there are both givers and receivers. You will:

• understand the process for effective giving and receiving feedback
• learn how to give good feedback using guidelines
• practice handling criticism with honesty and grace
