Giving and Receiving Feedback lunchtime talk in Japan
Welcome to our “Giving and Receiving Feedback” lunchtime talk in Japan. Effective feedback is a cornerstone of personal and professional development, yet many individuals struggle with both giving and receiving feedback constructively. In this session, we will explore the importance of feedback in fostering growth and improvement, and provide practical strategies for giving and receiving feedback effectively. By mastering the art of feedback, participants can enhance communication, build stronger relationships, and drive performance improvements within their teams and organizations.
In the Japanese business context, where hierarchy and respect for authority are deeply ingrained, navigating feedback conversations can be particularly challenging.
