How to give and take feedback as a pro

"You're the future, teach us how to use the internet! Oh wait, don't bother, because you're just a spoiled, ignorant graduate who was still in your nappies while I was doing real labor". These, often unreasonable, expectations of millennials challenge us to confront our superiors over and over again. While our education lacked classes on 'how to talk to stubborn baby boomers', we have also not been taught how to get through to that apathetic colleague without sounding like a broken record. Nor how to tell your manager you're not interested in joining their office politics. Or even just to tell your partner in crime to stop sending you baby photos while still staying BFF's. Why don't they speak (your name here), so you can just do your thang? 

Miscommunication and misguided expectations are fatal for a company's productivity level, and more importantly cost you a lot of energy. The lack of listening and interpretation skills of your peers might spoil your mood, and as millennial to have to deal with the frustration of being misunderstood by the older generations is as prevalent. With proper feedback mechanisms tailored to different types of persons you can make sure you keep your cool even in the most heated arguments. Therefore, during this workshop we will focus on how to talk the language of different personalities, reading critical feedback and giving feedback for mutual benefits.  

This workshop is organized in collaboration with change management expert and coach Jorn Fokkens of Human Foundation. Having worked together in the corporate industry and continued the collaboration with successful classes for 3310, we are happy to progress into a new mission: Transforming the corporate industry into people oriented organizations.
