Content & Organization:
As leaders, we need to communicate effectively and use feedback as the powerful and motivating tool that it can be. Communication is essential to our roles as academics and a tool that our team also need to learn to cultivate.

In this session, we explore our:

• Communication styles and the impact of noise in our messages
• How our communication styles can clash and how to navigate interactions with individuals who
  communicate very differently to us.
• Active listening – the ultimate teaching and motivating tool.
• Constructive feedback (appreciation, advice, and evaluation) – when and how to use each.
• How to deliver hard messages with kindness
  
  

The 90-minute presentation includes interactive elements and a Q&A period.
