Feedback is a crucial part of working in agile teams.
If we want to grow, we need to know what the others thinks about us and our work. But sometimes it hurts when we hear unpleasant or unexpected feedback. And with this type of experience from the past we are sometimes afraid to give feedback to others.
This workshop should equip the participants with a method how to formulate feedback that does not trigger resistance and how to control the conversation, so it is comfortable and productive no matter if you are the giver or receiver.
The shared techniques are based not only on the well-known nonviolent communication (NVC) developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg in 1960s but also on recent work by Miki Kashtan who puts the feedback in the wider context of the conversation and points out the importance of follow-up.
It will go beyond the simple and sometimes unnatural 4-parts formulation to the core principles behind nonviolence and hopefully it will spark the passion to use it everywhere, not just in feedback conversations.
