ORGLDR X002 - The Feedback Formulas for Mentors
Effective feedback is a vital component of successful mentorship, enabling mentors to guide, support, and inspire their mentees with clarity and purpose. This asynchronous course delves into the foundational principles of feedback within mentoring relationships, emphasizing its role in helping mentees recognize their strengths, address areas for growth, and build the confidence needed to reach their goals. Through engaging content and practical examples, learners will explore the nuances of different feedback types—conciliatory, negative/critical, and reflective—and understand how each can be used to foster trust, motivation, and continuous development.
By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the tools and strategies necessary to deliver feedback that is both constructive and empowering. Learners will be able to identify three core types of feedback and anticipate their outcomes, develop thoughtful rationales for when and why to use negative or reflective feedback, and apply proven techniques to real-world workplace scenarios. Whether you're a new mentor or looking to refine your approach, this course will help you build stronger, more supportive mentoring relationships through the power of effective communication.
