Lead with Her: Get better at feedback (without making it weird)

Lead with Her: Get better at feedback (without making it weird)

A Lead with Her session for emerging and new leaders

Most people avoid feedback. Even when they know they shouldn't.

This session will help you say what needs to be said (and handle what comes back) without making it weird.

You know the moments:

• You should say something, but don't know how

• You soften the message so much it loses impact

• You receive feedback and aren't quite sure what to do with it

This 90-minute session is part of our Lead with Her series, built for women stepping into leadership for the first time (or figuring out how to lead well without a title yet). You'll leave with tools you can use in your very next conversation.

What makes this different

Most feedback training is theoretical. This is practical you'll:

• Practise real scenarios

• Get clarity on what to say

• Leave with language you can actually use

You'll find this useful if you've ever thought:

• "I should say something, but I don't know how to say it"

• "That feedback didn't land"

• "I'm not sure how to respond to that feedback"

• "I don't want to make this awkward"

What you'll learn

• How to give clear, specific feedback without over explaining

• How to receive feedback without getting defensive or stuck

• A simple, practical framework (including SBI) you can use immediately

• How to handle awkward or difficult conversations

• What to do when feedback doesn't land the way you expected

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Work through real scenarios

• Practise applying the frameworks

• Ask questions in a supportive environment

Who it's for

This session is for emerging and new leaders, and anyone stepping into more responsibility for the first time, including:

• Engineers, product managers, and tech professionals

• Individual contributors and new leaders

• Anyone who wants to get better at feedback without it feeling uncomfortable or unclear

You don't need a leadership title to belong here. If you're the person your team already comes to, or you're about to be, this is for you.
