Imagine looking forward to feedback conversations
You care deeply about your team and your mission—but when it comes to giving feedback, it’s easy to feel stuck.
You want to be kind and clear. Supportive and honest. You’re doing your best to address performance concerns without damaging morale. But despite your efforts, it still feels like walking a tightrope.
Whether your staff reacts defensively, shuts down, or you avoid the conversation altogether, you're not alone. Giving feedback is hard.
This training is for you if...
-
You hesitate to give constructive feedback because you don’t want to make things worse

-
Respond skillfully when emotions run high

Feel more confident, not more cautious
You can. And that’s exactly what this training will help you do.
“This training changed the way I give feedback. I used to just want to get it over with—but the CARE framework helped me approach feedback conversations more intentionally. I tried it during an annual review and was amazed: my employee actually brought up the same concerns I planned to raise, and we worked together on solutions. The conversation felt smoother, more collaborative, and way less stressful.”
