Strengths-based Feedback Course

Course Description

Strengths-based feedback is a skill that can be learned to prioritise the identification and encouragement of employee strengths over an exclusive focus on correcting weaknesses.

The tools we teach align with the core tenets of positive psychology, which suggest that individuals are more likely to thrive when they can leverage their personal strengths in their daily activities. The premise is simple yet powerful: when people are aware of and use their strengths, they are more effective, engaged, and happier in their roles.

The four tools here will help you create a culture of learning and continuous improvement by equipping you and your team with the skills and confidence to give and receive strengths-based feedback.


What topics are covered? 

Our courses are tailored to your needs by selecting from a list of tools, each of which is an individual topic and takes about an hour. Each tool generally covers one key management skill, behaviour or attribute, is accompanied by a toolcard (which builds up to create a personalised toolkit) and uses our Tell-Show-Do experiential learning methodology.

The Gift of Feedback

1. The Gift of Feedback

Everyone deserves the gift of feedback – they deserve to know how they are doing and what they can do to improve. This tool is for giving day to day feedback in the natural ebb and flow of daily interactions. No feeling uncomfortable or under pressure, just light touch and positive.

Giving and Receiving Feedback

2. Giving and Receiving Feedback

Feedback boosts growth, enhances performance, encourages learning and motivates improvement. This tool uses ‘BIFF’ – Behaviour, Impact, Feeling and Future to give feedback and ‘Reverse BIFF’ to receive it. It enables good quality conversations that help strengthen relationships and get the best out of yourself and others.

360 Degree feedback

3. 360 Degree Feedback

360° feedback promotes self-awareness using diverse perspectives, identifies blind spots, supports personal growth and fosters a culture of continuous improvement in the workplace. This automated tool gains that feedback quickly and simply and can integrate 360° feedback with other sources of information too.

The Ingredients of a Good 1:1

4. Ingredients of a Good 1:1

There are five simple ingredients for a good 1:1 – use this tool to plan and run 1:1s that are productive and engaging, enabling you and your employee to give and receive feedback and get what you both need from these regular check-ins.


How long is the course?

It depends on how many units you selected from the list above! Each unit takes about an hour, with extra time for an introduction, any breaks that are needed and a wrap-up. Choose one unit or add them together - three units make up half a day, and five or six units make a full day.  

What can you expect?

Interactive, thought-provoking training that can be virtual, face-to-face or a hybrid of the two. We use a variety of methods to create learning that sticks: from videos to activities and exercises in groups or individually, to e-learning, to further reading.
