The Art of Feedback training in the canton of Geneva

Within international Geneva-based teams, feedback runs up against very different cultures: direct for some, implicit for others. The same feedback can be received as helpful or hurtful.

The Art of Feedback programme in the Canton of Geneva teaches how to give feedback that is clear, precise and adapted to each person.

The challenges of feedback in Geneva

  • Adapting feedback to each person's culture.

  • Keeping feedback alive beyond annual reviews.

The programme in 6 modules

  1. Why feedback fails.Explore the root causes of misunderstandings during feedback in complex Geneva structures, from international organisations to local SMEs, in order to identify cultural and organisational blockages.

What the the Art of Feedback Training in the canton of Geneva programme covers

The the Art of Feedback Training in the canton of Geneva programme is designed for managers, executives and key contributors who want to turn the art of feedback into everyday practice. Content is built around real situations from your organisation rather than generic case studies, so that each session connects directly with the decisions your teams face in the canton of Geneva.

Core themes typically include: Feedback structuré; Climat de confiance; Développement continu. Each theme is adapted after a scoping conversation with your HR team and the sponsoring manager, so that the programme addresses the gaps you actually observe.

A method grounded in research and practice

Our approach combines short theoretical inputs drawn from peer-reviewed research, practical exercises, role plays and structured feedback. Participants work on their own cases, test new behaviours in a safe setting and leave with concrete commitments they can apply the following week.

Between sessions, short assignments help anchor what has been learned. A follow-up review a few weeks later measures what has changed in practice and identifies where further support is useful.
