Feedback on the task - tools & techniques
Feedback is one of the most important development tools in mentoring and coaching. It allows participants to look at their actions from a different perspective, noticing strengths but also areas for improvement. Appropriately delivered feedback has a huge impact on motivation, a sense of empowerment, and the effectiveness of further work. However, it's not just about assessment—it's about a conversation that supports reflection, learning, and conscious improvement.
