Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Feedback is one of the most important parts of management — and one of the most uncomfortable.

Many managers avoid it, delay it, or handle it in ways that create tension instead of trust. That usually isn’t because they don’t care. It’s because feedback conversations are human, emotional, and easy to get wrong in the moment.

This course gives you a practical way to handle them better.

Inside, you’ll learn how feedback really works, why people become defensive, and how to approach conversations in a way that is clear, calm, and useful. We start with the foundations: the psychology of feedback, the difference between intent and impact, the importance of trust, and what it means to earn the right to speak into someone’s growth.

From there, the course moves into the four core types of manager conversations: appreciation, mistakes and recovery, growth and development, and refocus. You’ll learn how to recognise strong effort, address problems without blame, support someone’s development, and handle behaviour or attitude issues without damaging the relationship.

This is not a theory-heavy course. It is designed for real managers dealing with real people in real situations. The lessons are concise, practical, and built around scripts, examples, and tools you can apply immediately.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a repeatable, practical approach to feedback that helps you communicate more effectively, build trust, and become a better manager.

Who this course is for
Managers, team leaders, and anyone responsible for performance conversations.
