Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say... is a kind and clear no. Learn how to protect your time and energy with grace. Explore the power of pausing, spot your personal pitfalls, and turn them into strengths.

Feedback That Engages and Works So important – yet so challenging!
Why do many hesitate to give feedback? What are we afraid of – and why doesn’t feedback always work as we intend?
As an EA or PA, you play a key role in fostering good communication and motivation within your team. The ability to provide constructive feedback is essential for building strong relationships, driving development, and ensuring effective collaboration.
In this interactive workshop, Lise Grevle Teien and Nancy Fandler Brodin from Fandler Brodin & Partners will provide insights, techniques, and practical tools to help you master feedback that truly works.
✅ Learn how to use feedback to: ✔️ Adjust and improve performance and results ✔️ Promote learning and development ✔️ Strengthen relationships and build a trust-based culture ✔️ Increase motivation, meaning, and engagement ✔️ Contribute to a safe and open work environment
Avoid the pitfalls! Poor feedback can create distance and uncertainty – but when done right, it can motivate, inspire, and have a powerful impact.
Join the workshop “Feedback That Engages and Works” and gain new perspectives and tools you can apply immediately!
