Shape Your Future
Series
Build Key Skills for Success in the Workplace
The Shape Your Future series of professional development workshops presents a leadership workshop by the JMU Dux Leadership Center:
WHEN: Fri., Oct. 14, 2016 from 2:30 - 3:30 pm
WHERE: Showker 106
WHAT: Feed Forward
WHO: Open to all majors
HOST: Michael McCleve, Dux Leadership Center
OTHER INFORMATION: Most people think that being able to give and receive feedback is the only real effective way to make improvement happen. But feedback rarely brings about anticipated changes because it focuses on what happened in the past. Thus, it is rarely a useful tool for making improvement. Join us in this interactive session to learn about a more effective tool for making improvement: Feed Forward. You'll learn the concept as well as experience the benefits in this engaging and fun 60-minute experiential learning opportunity.
