How to Receive Critical Feedback About Inequity

  • Registration Closed

*This event has sold out.*

*This event is interactive and requires participation from registrants. Feedback is critical to creating authentic and meaningful relationships, but when it comes to critical feedback around diversity, inclusion, equity or belonging, we often can get so wrapped up in our emotions that we are unable to genuinely engage with the feedback. Participate in this clinic to explore how to engage with feedback around inequity issues through a hands-on, interactive workshop facilitated by NRPA’s Senior Education Manager of DEI. Come to this event prepared to engage readily in dialogue and activities via breakout rooms and virtual chat. This learning event is live attendance only and will not be recorded for on-demand.

Objectives: 

By the end of the clinic, participants will have:

  1. Resisted the urge to refute, react defensively or jump immediately to problem solving.
  2. Practiced active listening to engage with critical feedback.
  3. Planned to incorporate at least one new strategy to engage with critical feedback around inequity.
