Hi Krystyn,
Thank so much for sharing your story. It really is disappointing how some people believe feedback should be done. Your example is by no means unique but it does show how much more work we have to do.
And thank you for your comment at the end. It made me feel very humble.
Ally and I were discussing your mail last night and we were curious – from your link it looks like you are in Australia. How much is brain friendly training recognised there? You could use the “Contact us” button at the top to reply directly if you like.
Cheers for now,
Paul

Paul, I so enjoyed this article. I remember years ago when I was being evaluated after delivering a communication course. The evaluations were outstanding and so was the post feedback. The evaluator’s first piece of feedback to me was “you were condescening”. I was devastated and angry with this comment. The truth was that I “strengthened my voice at times” (what she saw) not that I was condescening (how she judged me). Thank you for sharing this wonderful saying. I will treasure it.

Paul, I look forward to reading your posts. I feel like I have a mentor in you.

Hi Mary,

Glad you like it. Like you, Ally and I are often asked to give feedback and people really do appreciate it when it’s down with love, respect and sensitivity.

Thanks for posting a comment.

I like this approach and it is something that I have to do all the time as I have to give people feedback on their presentation style. I have found that people really welcome feedback provided you think carefully about how you give it.

Thanks

This is a beautifully simple idea, and one that’s so easy to miss – or slip up on, without even realising it.

Thanks

ROB
