Our training highlights and provides practice in very effective methods for meeting this challenge. Our training has received highly positive reviews. Here is a sample of comments from persons who have received our training: Extremely interesting course/seminar. I feel a lot more knowledgeable on the issues surrounding the entire feedback process. Also, a number of misconceptions/questions were answered. I really recommend this course to other colleagues!! I was somewhat skeptical attending this course and in the end very pleased with the result. The trainer is excellent, helped the class to structure ideas around the topic and apply some of the theoretical concepts in real life. I had never realized the importance of good feedback until this class. I think this was an excellent workshop. I liked the trainer’s use of examples to illustrate certain points. I also like the use of the different exercises in the book and the discussion that took place. The presentation does an excellent job of conveying the importance of feedback and addresses common mistakes. Very good real world examples highlighted. Hones in on the point; demonstrates the point’s relevance. I think that this workshop should be mandatory for all managers and supervisors. Useful at all levels of the firm. The trainer is clearly very knowledgeable on these topics, very passionate about teaching, and an excellent communicator. Great materials—use of independent quotes/use of stories were helpful. Great course. My preoccupation was that I may not find this useful. I have been proved wrong—actually learned a lot! Appears to know subject exceptionally well and presents with high level of enthusiasm. Presented in very logical, thorough manner. Created rapport with audience. Encouraged active participation. Very good knowledge of the subject with various examples that illustrate the topics very well. Has a great sense of humor that aid in the enjoyment of the class. Full of enthusiasm; motivates the class. Like trainer’s technique of story telling to demonstrate the material in practice. Great teacher, obviously enjoys interacting with students; great interpersonal skills. Very good communicator, mixes anecdotes and materials very well. Extremely engaging with use of humor and personal stories. Very effective use of humor, very engaging. Very entertaining—kept interest levels up by relating relevant anecdotes. Probably one of the best presentations I attended. Excellent use of stories and humor to deliver the subject matter. Instruction, lecture was rich and interesting. This session will be good for VPs and MDs too. The exercises were quite helpful. Very realistic and I learned many things that I can take in practice. Good and relevant examples. More interactive—perhaps have people speak among themselves about the exercises and then talk about the issues as a larger group. Or have people give real life examples of some of the issues. Extremely useful. The course is quite useful in terms of self-awareness of this topic. It may be better if the course is done in less time e.g. 2 hours to keep the attention of the audience on the subject. Some exercises can be combined to reduce the time taken and yet achieve sufficient depth. Strong enthusiasm and energy. Great stories tied the material together. Connected well with the group. Very enthusiastic and interactive with class. Extremely helpful with respect to acting and reacting to these in the work environment. I felt very involved. Great—He really gets his point across. Fun to listen to and interact with. Dr. Deonaraine did a very good job of making the session interactive, particularly with his use of humor. Also, very knowledgeable on the subject!! Very clearly communicated (conceptually and practically) ideas and used good examples to support ideas. Again, very good use of humor to get people involved and really engaged in the core issues of the seminar. It is not an easy topic but I think we have now the background to practice on it. Very well elaborated. It covers the most important issues as it regards the feedback dynamics. Trainer is extremely well prepared. Trainer knows exactly how to deal with the audience. Very engaged, enthusiastic and sincere. Good speaker, strong presentation skills. Put a lot of thought in the presentation. Useful presentation. Enjoyed it a lot overall. Very articulate, focused and engaging communication skills. Trainer made a connection with the whole room by looking at each student. Gave positive feedback to comments made by the class. Had a pleasant manner. I believe the approach of the presentation to “FEEDBACK” issues was very interesting and that trainer did an excellent job at delivering the materials. Material, as well as exercises, were very helpful to spark discussion in class. Trainer comes across as being very warm and personable. Responsive to questions. Very genuine and direct style.
