• Providing you with a research-informed understanding of why feedback often fails to lead to improvement

• Supporting you to reflect on practical ways to support mentees to engage with and use feedback more effectively

• Building your mentoring repertoire in ways that shift focus from “telling” to developing feedback-receiving skills
