Giving and Receiving Feedback Webinar

Part 2

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 Two, Erin offers actionable strategies and exercises, including:

Phrasing feedback in a way that supports the writer.
Maintaining a growth mindset throughout the feedback process.

Erin Lebacqz takes the lead in this webinar. Here's how she uses WordRake in her work:

"WordRake has helped my writing by helping me recognize patterns I often use in my writing. WordRake helps me identify potential 'tonal fails' and revise before I send my work into the world with a tone that’s not ideal."
