The Maunuhanga – Wellington Postdoctoral Society invites you to this Research Leadership Workshop for Early Career Researchers workshop. The focus will be on developing the art of giving and receiving feedback.
The Art of Giving and Receiving Feedback workshop provides you with the opportunity to practice the BUILD model to give critical feedback respectfully and without judgment or criticism. You will also gain an understanding of the importance of praise through practicing the ‘ABC of appreciation’ to see and notice the specific things that people do that make a positive difference to us at work.
The event will be held in KK202.
What it’s about
We all want a great place to work. Yet, our ‘Your Voice Staff Survey’ suggests that not enough of us are having the experience we want to have – and that is why we created the Building Respect programme and resources. These are all designed to help us have more good days at work. Because we all have the “right” to have things be OK, but we also have the “responsibility” to help them be "OK” for others where we can.
Sometimes that can mean:
being brave and sharing the gift of critical feedback with someone, or
receiving feedback as a gift and being willing to modify our own behaviour, or
helping someone else out who is not OK by being a good bystander.
making sure that we let other people know when they are doing something that works – giving positive feedback.
Pre-work
Before you attend the workshop, we ask that you complete our e-learning module ‘Speaking up Safely with Build’. This e-learning module will give you the background to the BUILD and ABC models we will explore during our session. As this is a short workshop, we won’t have time to teach the models in any depth, so the e-learning is essential. The e-learning shouldn’t take more than 1 hour of your time.

The workshop
The focus for the workshop is an opportunity to discuss and practice some of the key skills in the art of giving and receiving feedback.
Getting clear on the difference between facts vs judgements (an essential part of being able to deliver constructive feedback that will bypass resistance),
Practising our Listening skills so that we truly understand the other’s perspective, and
Talking about how to apply the skills into your own contexts.
