About This Course

Feedback is one of the most powerful management tools you have.

But it only works when you do it well. Done badly, it damages relationships, reduces motivation, and leaves people feeling confused or defensive.

When you do it well, you build trust, improve performance, develop people, and help everyone do their best work.

This practical course gives you the confidence and skills to make feedback a positive force in your workplace.

Feedback Works takes the guesswork out of both sides of the conversation.

It moves away from outdated methods, like the "feedback sandwich", and introduces practical tools like:

  • The Feedback Burger
  • 360-Degree Feedback
  • The Starfish Model, and
  • Diamond Feedback.

You'll also learn how to ask for feedback, receive it without getting defensive, and turn it into real, visible improvement.

Feedback Works is a practical, step-by-step guide designed to take the stress out of these crucial conversations.

You will learn how to:

  • Plan your conversations using a simple 10-question process
  • Deliver formal evaluations that motivate your team
  • Handle difficult reactions with confidence
  • Deliver stunning performance turnarounds

Just as important, you will master the art of asking for and acting on feedback to accelerate your own professional growth.

Feedback is one of the most powerful tools you have to improve performance. It gives insights that will boost your team's performance and accelerate your career.

Along the way, you'll explore the thinking of leading feedback experts like:

  • Kim Cameron
  • Rick Maurer
  • Ken Blanchard

You will build the skills to handle the moments that trip most people up, like:

  • Feedback that goes wrong
  • Bias in the room
  • Turning around an under-performing team member

Whether you're managing a team, working alongside colleagues, or simply trying to grow in your career, this course gives you a practical, no-nonsense toolkit for making feedback work — for everyone involved.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
