"Your solution sucks!" We've all heard something like this at work. How did it make you feel? And the last time you needed to criticize a colleague's work, did you handle it as skillfully as you could have?
In this practical session, Vicky examines the psychological mechanisms that make giving and receiving criticism so challenging, especially in technical environments where different teams must collaborate.
She offers effective strategies to deliver honest feedback without damaging relationships. Whether you're struggling to speak up to authority figures or looking to create a culture where constructive criticism thrives, you'll leave with techniques you can apply immediately.
