October 2014 Lunch Program:
Thanks for the Feedback
The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well
(Even When It's Off Base, Unfair, Poorly Delivered, and Frankly You're Not in the Mood)
Join LMANE for an afternoon with Douglas Stone, best-selling author and Harvard Law School Lecturer, as he explores the takeaways from his latest book, Thanks for the Feedback.
Members of the legal marketing community operate in a blizzard of feedback, direct and indirect. We are on the receiving end of feedback from lawyers, clients, bosses, peers, direct reports, spouses, friends, and family members that is often presented in challenging ways. We often react defensively, feeling frustrated that the feedback is off-target or unfair, offers no acknowledgement for all that we've already done well, or is just plain confusing. But as dispiriting as it can be, we know we need feedback -- our success at work and in relationships depends on it. In this talk, Douglas Stone will look at why feedback is such a challenge and offer ways receivers can regain their balance and engage in feedback conversations with skill.
