Maximizing The Power of Feedback
How we give it, receive it, and create a culture where everyone on our team wants it!
Registration Is Now Open!
Thursday, March 5th from 9 - 11:30am @ Delmar Divine
Workshop Description
We all know that feedback is essential to individual and team success, yet it remains one of the most underused and misunderstood tools in leadership. The word feedback itself can spark anxiety or defensiveness—and too often, that prevents us from using it to unlock growth and connection.
In this interactive workshop, we’ll reframe what feedback truly is: an opportunity for learning, alignment, and trust. Together, we’ll unpack why feedback feels difficult, and what shifts leaders can make to turn it into a powerful and positive force on their teams.
You’ll learn actionable frameworks for giving, receiving, and requesting feedback that strengthens relationships rather than strains them. We’ll explore how to build a culture where feedback is not a one-time event, but an ongoing dialogue—one that’s expected, embraced, and even wanted.
Through discussion, application, and practice, you’ll walk away with:
A deeper understanding of the psychology behind feedback—why it’s often avoided and how to change that.
Clear tools for giving and receiving feedback with empathy and precision.
Practical strategies for creating systems and rituals that make feedback a natural part of your team’s rhythm.
By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped not just to talk about feedback—but to lead in a way that makes it thrive.
Best Suited For
This workshop is for leaders and aspiring leaders from any sector (corporate or nonprofit) as we’ll dive into ways that we can create a culture that sustains across our teams..

What Attendees are Saying
“It's always a pleasure to learn from Kyle Shaffer, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His ability to engage participants is exceptional—he brings energy, warmth, and a genuine enthusiasm that creates a fun and inclusive learning environment. What truly stands out is his deep knowledge and use of real-life scenarios that makes the content relevant and immediately applicable. He doesn’t just talk theory; He provides practical tools and strategies that our team can (and will!) use in our day-to-day work. The sessions are a perfect blend of insight, interaction, and real-world utility.
