Mastering the Art of Constructive Feedback: A Deep Dive into Interpersonal Communication

The dynamics of interpersonal communication are complex, and when it comes to the delicate art of giving and receiving feedback, the stakes are even higher. This course, designed meticulously around the theme of constructive feedback, isn't just a step-by-step guide; it's an immersive journey into the very essence of human interaction.

Course Highlights:

Laying a Strong Foundation: Before diving into the realm of feedback, students will be introduced to a tapestry of concepts integral to interpersonal communication. This foundational knowledge is paramount to grasp the nuances and intricacies of constructive criticism.
Navigating the Self: Dive deep into understanding the self's needs and face needs. This self-awareness is crucial to ensuring that feedback is not just objective, but also empathetic.
Striking the Balance: Assertiveness or hostility? The course meticulously elucidates the fine line between the two, empowering students to provide feedback that's candid yet compassionate.
The Power of Politeness: In the world of feedback, politeness isn't just a virtue, it's a tool. Learn how to harness the potency of politeness to craft feedback that's effective, yet considerate.
Beyond Words - The Role of Nonverbal Communication: Understand the unspoken cues and signals that can make or break a feedback session. Mastering this subtle form of communication can enhance the overall effectiveness and reception of feedback.
Practical Scenarios: Armed with theoretical knowledge, students will then engage in practical discussions, simulations, and role-plays to effectively give and receive feedback in real-life scenarios.
