Giving Feedback that Actually Helps
Transform Awkward Conversations into Meaningful Growth
Giving feedback doesn’t have to be painful for anyone involved.
Learn how to share observations, insights, and suggestions in ways that actually help people grow—while strengthening rather than damaging relationships. Move from dreading these conversations to seeing them as opportunities for connection and development.
The Nonviolent Communication Difference
Most feedback training focuses on techniques and frameworks. This program is different—it’s rooted in Nonviolent Communication principles that I’ve used to train over 200 people.
Instead of learning what to say, you’ll discover how to:
- Separate observation from judgment so people can actually hear you
- Connect with underlying needs rather than just addressing surface behaviours
- Create safety first so defensive walls come down naturally
- Stay curious instead of certain about what’s really happening
“David stepped in, reviewed the situation, and coached our team members. The impact was immediate.” – O.F.
When feedback comes from genuine care and understanding rather than evaluation and criticism, everything changes.
