When you're planning a workshop, especially one centered on feedback, clear, practical objectives are everything. They guide the flow of the session, give participants a sense of purpose, and help measure success. For those of us focused on Carefrontation, the goal isn’t just to talk about feedback, it’s to build the muscle that makes honest, caring conversations part of the everyday culture.
Core Objective:
Equip participants with the skills to give and receive feedback effectively using the principles of Radical Candor.
From that core, you can expand into a few more targeted outcomes depending on the audience and format of your workshop. Here are a few solid objectives you can use or adapt:
- Understand the difference between Radical Candor, Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity, and Ruinous Empathy
- Practice delivering feedback that challenges directly while showing you care personally
- Learn how to receive tough feedback without becoming defensive or disengaged
- Identify common pitfalls in feedback conversations and how to avoid them
- Create personal action plans for applying Radical Candor in real team scenarios
- Build psychological safety by normalizing open, two-way feedback
As you build out your own workshop, which of these objectives resonates most with your team’s current needs? What would you add to this list? Let’s crowdsource some great ideas below.
