Gytha’s research into addressing undesirable behaviour in organisations shows that we all look at each other hoping that someone (the management team, colleagues, the chairman of the meeting…) will intervene. We ourselves keep silent because we don’t want to ruin the good atmosphere, because we don’t want him or her to lose face or because we fear negative consequences (no promotion, loosing our job etc.).

  • How can you stop undesirable or inappropriate behaviour and encourage desirable behaviour at work?
  • How do you address someone’s behaviour and keep the relationship running smoothly?
  • How do you prevent the escalation of the conversation?
  • How do you deal with defensive behaviour?
  • And how can you make sure that your team creates a culture of speaking up (and not only talks about it)?

In the online Feedback Academy you will find answers to these questions and you’ll learn how to make more impact when you address someone’s behaviour.

In the online training you will find interesting theory, assignments, cases, facts & figures from scientific research, videos and the opportunity to dive deeper into specific themes that interest you. Each module comes with a digital workbook.

Every two weeks you will receive a new module. Click on the modules above to see the content.

Going through the training requires a time investment of 12 to 20 hours over 10 weeks (depending on how you handle the assignments).

Result

What participants say:

‘Inspiring and informative!’

‘Clear structure and immediately applicable at work’.

‘Nice variation in text, videos and assignments’.

‘I like the fact that I get a reminder every two weeks’.

‘This is very relevant for everyone, whether you are a manager or not!’

 

After the online training you will feel differently about speaking up and addressing people’s behaviour. It will become easier to confront them with the impact of their behaviour. You will know what you can do to prevent the escalation of the conversation. And you will also respond more effectively to constructive feedback about your own behaviour.
