Practitioner coaches often feel most comfortable providing supportive feedback to practitioners. However, coaches are sometimes left wondering how to provide effective constructive feedback, while still maintaining positive partnerships and buy-in from practitioners. This webinar highlights how the reflection and feedback component of Practice-Based Coaching occurs within the context of collaborative partnerships. Panelists discuss how to prepare for reflection and feedback with practitioners, and share tips and strategies for providing supportive and constructive feedback, and reflective questioning techniques.
