Giving and Receiving Feedback Webinar

Part 1

Do you get feedback on your writing at work, or are you the one who gives the feedback? Either way, you’re part of a relationship between feedback giver and feedback receiver. By treating that relationship with care, you can develop your writing and feedback skills, and your workplace relationships.

In this two-part video series, Anne Janzer and Erin Lebacqz take on the feedback process.

Learning Objectives

In Feedback - Part One, Anne helps you ask for and provide feedback with care, thereby setting up the feedback process for success.

How can we best ask for feedback on our writing?
How can we best provide feedback on others’ writing?
How can we preserve (or even strengthen) relationships in the process?

Anne Janzer takes the lead in this webinar. Here's what Anne says about how WordRake helps writers achieve the goals discussed in this webinar:

"WordRake is like a power boost for revising, spotting the insidious ways we add clutter or confusion to our writing. Using WordRake will instantly improve writers’ brevity and clarity. Even for more nuanced writing topics like giving feedback or writing with authority, WordRake plays a critical supporting role."
