A couple of months ago, I gave a lunch and learn on peer feedback to Detroit Labs. As a former teaching assistant and apprentice mentor, I have had plenty of practice giving good feedback. Recently, I read a book called Thanks For The Feedback by Douglas Stone and Sheila Heen that takes a different view, focusing on improving the way we receive feedback. The talk I gave combined my own experiences with suggestions from this book to present a holistic view of the flow of feedback.
Check out the video (slides and audio) of my talk below! The main topics include feedback categories (appreciation, coaching, and evaluation) and getting better at giving and guiding each kind of feedback.
