Feedback & Conflict

Giving and receiving feedback isn’t just a workplace skill—it’s a leadership superpower. When delivered with honesty, empathy, and clarity, feedback transforms teams, unlocks potential, and deepens connection. Yet it’s often avoided, sugar-coated, or mishandled.

At Brave Directions, I draw on my experience facilitating Stanford’s renowned Touchy Feely (Interpersonal Dynamics) course to help teams master courageous, meaningful feedback. Through experiential learning and real-time practice, your team will move past fear and discomfort into conversations that strengthen relationships and drive results.

What to Expect

We begin with a one-day executive offsite that lays the foundation for ongoing feedback mastery. Drawing on Stanford’s T-Group method, we focus on self-awareness, authentic connection, and real-time feedback.

Your Team Will
Learn to:

  • Practice self-disclosure to build connection

  • Use inquiry to uncover deeper insights

  • Apply the Intent and Impact model

  • Lead with empathy while being direct

  • Understand how perceptions shape interactions

  • Balance influence with openness

  • Grow emotional intelligence for tough conversations

The Brave Directions Difference

This isn’t scripted role-play. Our work is dynamic and experiential, grounded in real conversations and emotions. With an Advanced Certification from Stanford as a Facilitator in Interpersonal Communications work, I guide your team through challenges with coaching and reflection that create lasting change.

After the offsite, your team leaves with:

  • A proven feedback framework

  • Greater self-awareness and confidence

  • Stronger trust and collaboration

  • A commitment to continuous learning through feedback

Feedback isn’t something to fear. It’s the foundation of growth — for individuals, teams, and entire organizations.
