Asking for Constructive Feedback

Power Skills

Registration for this event is closed.

 

Did you know that women tend to receive less actionable feedback due to kindness bias?  This can lead to missed opportunities for growth, raises, or promotions.  Asking for constructive feedback becomes critical if you find yourself without supervisors, colleagues, or mentors who are providing it. Join our Women in Project Management group for a panel discussion focusing on how to ask for constructive feedback.

Learning Objectives

  • Understanding approaches to ask for constructive feedback
  • Who we should ask for this type of feedback
  • How to let others know you are open to constructive feedback
  • Ways to receive constructive feedback

Register by January 23 at 5pm!
