Culturally Responsive Feedback: Maintaining Clarity And Standards While Reducing Shame And Defensiveness

< Back

Short Description

A practical training on giving feedback that is direct and standards-based while attending to culture, power, and shame responses; so feedback becomes usable rather than crushing.

Learning Objectives

• Identify how shame and power dynamics affect feedback uptake.
• Use a feedback structure that separates behavior, impact, and next steps.
• Practice one “repair-ready” response when feedback lands poorly.

Each topic can be adapted to your audience, timeframe, and delivery format, with a minimum of 1 hour of instruction. The summary on this page is intentionally brief; detailed descriptions, learning objectives, and sample agendas are available upon request.
