“Andrea's workshop on giving and receiving feedback helped me understand that there are many tools and skills for more effective, growth-oriented feedback. The scenario-based role-plays we did in this workshop allowed us to practice constructive conversations to address issues before they spiral out into larger tensions and conflicts.”

“Where to start. This course is so essential. I really appreciated learning about conflict resolution, practice of self awareness, models of leadership, change theories, resiliency, mediation, honestly the list continues. This course was the most well thought out and intentional I have taken so far at PGS towards building our skills in leadership and change.”

“As an individual, this workshop was a helpful exercise for reflecting on my own tendencies and identifying areas where I can improve my feedback skills. As a group, the benefit was even greater — by giving our team a shared framework with which to navigate conflict, I'm optimistic that we'll be able to grow and strengthen our connections as a team. Thank you for this workshop!”
