Delivering Constructive Criticism 2026
1.25 CPD Hours
Description
Master the art of constructive feedback with the OINR Framework—clear, calm, and effective conversations that turn discomfort into confidence and improves performance.
Constructive criticism is essential because performance issues, unclear communication, and repeated mistakes rarely resolve themselves.
Yet giving constructive criticism is one of the most uncomfortable parts of leadership. For many professionals, feedback feels awkward and many team leaders often soften their message, hesitate, or avoid difficult conversations altogether because the discomfort feels too high. The result is predictable: repeated mistakes, strained relationships, and unresolved performance issues.
If you’d feel more comfortable and confident with a simple, ethical framework for leading constructive feedback conversations that are clear, calm, fair, and effective, this session is for you.
The OINR Constructive Feedback Framework gives you the psychology, structure, and language to address behaviour and performance issues in a way that reduces defensiveness and increases clarity.
Walk away confident, calm, and clear with practical tools you can use immediately in any situation.
LEARNING OUTCOMES

- Use a clean, four-step structure that prevents defensiveness and escalation and keeps conversations focused on behaviour.
