One of their team members shared this after participating in a Catalyst Program workshop: “I have a new set of tools to help me check for understanding, empower folks to identify their success, obstacles, options, and consider next steps for themselves. I am taking with me a number of questions I can select from to help me work through the SOON Funnel (TM) and practice coaching.” We’re honored to support PTR as they continue their incredible work with effective leadership tools and strategies. 🙌 Every sale at LifeLabs Learning helps fund access to learning programs for nonprofits like PTR.

Ever heard of the "shit sandwich?" 🥪💩 It's when people hide constructive feedback between two layers of praise – but here's the thing: it confuses more than it helps. 🚫 Instead, give feedback as it comes up, or ask employees what they’d like to hear first if you have both praise and critique. Whatever approach you take, make sure your feedback is specific and actionable. Want to get better at this? Check out our blog 👉 How to Give Constructive Feedback in the Workplace. https://lnkd.in/gXeRgEux #Feedback #ManagerSkills #LeadershipTraining #LifeLabsLearning
