What Participants Are Saying
“The Praise & Raise™ workshop was an eye opener for me. It helped me to sit back and think about how I could have resolved situations differently. I will take that with me in the future.”
“I used this feedback method on a call with a vendor after our session, and it was well received. My CFO was on the call and said I was so balanced with the vendor. The vendor said he will use this technique going forward too!”
“PAISE Leadership provided a deeper understanding for my associates on how to engage and provide feedback to their teams. Through the training, they gained more confidence to leverage the tools provided on how to give not only positive but constructive feedback that will drive results. I highly recommend the “Giving Feedback that Drives Results” training.”
