Traditional approach (1)

• Change is motivated by discomfort.

• If you can make people feel bad enough, they will change.

• People have to “hit bottom” to be ready for change

• Corollary: People don’t change if they haven’t suffered enough

Page 4: Inspirational feedback

Traditional approach (2)

If the stick is big enough,

there is no need for a carrot.

You better!

Or else!

Page 5: Inspirational feedback

Traditional approach (3)

Someone who continues to use is

“in denial.”

The best way to “break through” the

denial is direct confrontation.

Page 6: Inspirational feedback

Another approach: Motivating (1)

• People are ambivalent about change

• People continue their bad habit because of their ambivalence

• Resolving ambivalence in the direction of change is a key element of motivational interviewing

Page 7: Inspirational feedback

Another approach: Motivating (1)

Motivation for change can be fostered by an accepting, empowering, and safe atmosphere

What is Purpose of Feedback

• Promote learning ▫ Offering new information to replace

outdated or incorrect information.

• Promote Behavior Change ▫ To reinforce what is done well by a

subject. ▫ Help subject change unproductive

behavior.

• Promote Trust ▫ To offer information in respectful

fashion that promotes the value of the person and reinforces learning.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 11

Page 12: Inspirational feedback

What is Purpose of Feedback

• Feedback is about ▫ Providing the subject insight about

the information, skills, & behaviors desired in the organization (college or

university) to accomplish the mission (learning the material and/or changing behavior) to achieve the goals (graduation) and find employment.

▫ Creating an environment where the subject feels safe to ask for help and information.

▫ Creating a respectful learning environment.

Page 15: Inspirational feedback
Page 16: Inspirational feedback

Two Basic Forms of Feedback

• Formative

▫ Gives information to instructors & subjects about how subjects are doing relative to course learning or behavior change goals.

▫ The formative assessment “script” reads like this: What knowledge or skills do I

aim to develop? How close am I now? What do I need to do next?

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D.

Page 17: Inspirational feedback

Two Basic Forms of Feedback

• Summative

▫ Provides the subject with information about how he/she did mastering the information or making the requested change in behavior.

For example, did the subjects learn what they were supposed to learn after using the instructional module.

• Summative feedback/evaluation is typically quantitative, using numeric scores or letter grades to assess learner achievement.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 17

Page 18: Inspirational feedback

Examples…

• Formative Feedback

▫ Enrique, let me give you some ideas on how to improve your paper… Two specific examples where it can be improved Four specific examples where Enrique was doing well

• Summative Feedback

▫ Enrique, your earned a B- on your paper. Let me point out specifically the two areas that lowered your grade and several areas that you did well on…

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 18

Page 19: Inspirational feedback

When Feedback Goes Wrong

• Creates defensiveness in subjects

• Impacts classroom climate

• Inhibits learning

• Poor course/instructor evaluations

Page 20: Inspirational feedback
Page 21: Inspirational feedback

Effective Feedback

• Effective feedback is specific, not general.

• Effective feedback always focuses on a specific behavior or actions, not on a person or their intentions.

• The best feedback is sincerely and honestly provided to help.

▫ People will know if they are receiving it for any other reason.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 21

Page 22: Inspirational feedback
Page 23: Inspirational feedback

Effective Feedback

• Successful feedback describes actions or behaviors that is under the control of the individual.

• Feedback that is requested is more powerful.

▫ Build in permission to provide feedback, even if permission is not necessary.

▫ Say, “I'd like to give you some feedback about the presentation, is that okay with you?”

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 23

Page 24: Inspirational feedback
Page 25: Inspirational feedback

Effective Feedback

• Effective feedback involves the sharing of information and observations.

▫ It does not include advice unless you have permission or advice is requested.

• Effective feedback is well timed.

▫ Whether the feedback is positive or negative, provide the information as closely tied to the event as possible.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 25

Page 26: Inspirational feedback
Page 27: Inspirational feedback

Effective Feedback

• Effective feedback involves what or how something was done, not why.

▫ Asking “why” is asking people about their motivation and that provokes defensiveness.

• Check to make sure the other person understood what you communicated

▫ Use a feedback loop, such as asking a question or observing changed behavior.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 27

Page 28: Inspirational feedback
Page 29: Inspirational feedback

Examples…

• Ineffective Feedback

▫ Mr. Smith, you are talking over everyone else during class discussion…why are you doing that… you know the class discussion rules.

• Effective Feedback

▫ Mr. Smith, I have noticed that when you participate in class discussion, you are talking over everyone else. It would be helpful to the whole class if you waited until others have stopped speaking. Additionally, what you have to say is very good…on target, and matches the class readings.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 29

Page 30: Inspirational feedback

Effective Feedback

• Effective feedback is as consistent as possible.

▫ If the actions are great today, they’re great tomorrow.

▫ If the classroom behavior merits discipline, it should always merit discipline.

• Effective feedback is offered privately.

▫ Never single anyone out for embarrassment

STRUCTURING FEEDBACK: HOW TO STRUCTURE FEEDBACK SO SUBJECTS REMEMBER THE INFORMATION. & HOW TO EFFECTIVELY GIVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WITHOUT BUILDING RESISTANCE FROM SUBJECTS.

The Order Really Does Matter…

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 32

Page 33: Inspirational feedback

Structuring Feedback

When people are given both positive and negative feedback, what do they remember?

A. Both the Positive & Negative Equally

B. Mostly the Negative feedback

C. Mostly the Positive feedback

D. My subjects generally don’t listen when I speak!

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 33

Page 34: Inspirational feedback

Structuring Feedback

• People will mostly remember the NEGATIVE feedback.

▫ People generally do not deeply consider praise.

▫ People remember criticism in significant detail.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 34

Page 35: Inspirational feedback

Structuring Feedback

• Remember, even if you offer equal amounts of positive and negative feedback to a subject, it will still feel negative over all.

– Concept of “hedonic asymmetry”

• Brain is optimized to identify and respond to bad experiences first and seek to resolve them (survival).

• Good news can wait once threat is averted.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 35

Page 36: Inspirational feedback

Structuring Feedback

• The 90/10 rule…

– People generally focus on the 10% of their lives that are going wrong and overlook the 90% of their lives that are going normal or well.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 36

Page 37: Inspirational feedback

The Feedback Sandwich

• Many have been taught to sandwich negative criticism between positive remarks.

Problems with the Feedback Sandwich:

1. The criticism blasts the first

positive comments out of the receiver’s brain.

2. The receiver then thinks hard about the criticism which drives it into memory.

3. The receiver is now on guard for more criticism and cannot hear the positive comments that end the cycle.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 37

Page 38: Inspirational feedback

A Better Structure for Feedback

• Briefly present a few negative remarks followed by a long list of positive remarks.

▫ This can be hard…coming up with positives can

take work

▫ Provide as much detail as you can Reason: Positive feedback is harder to remember. People

generally scrutinize & remember criticism and gloss over positive remarks.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 38

Page 39: Inspirational feedback

Order a Different Sandwich…

• Go from this…

“You have a great writing and presentation style…at the same time, I can really see some areas for improvement.

Suggestion # 1

Suggestion # 2

I also think the content of what you presented is good.”

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 39

Page 40: Inspirational feedback

Order a Different Sandwich…

• To this…

“Let’s take a look at your written report & presentation…two areas to focus on are…

Specific Example 1 & 2

Some strong areas were… Great attention to the details of the report, for example…

Your presentation brought home the fact about…

You matched the learning goals with the points in the presentation…

You sustained eye contact with your audience.”

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 40

Page 41: Inspirational feedback

Structuring Negative Feedback

• When giving negative feedback

– Be clear!!

– Focus on things that can be changed or controlled by the receiver.

– Present a clear and constructive way to change the behavior or acquire new knowledge.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 41

Page 42: Inspirational feedback

Presenting Positive Feedback

• Generally when people are receiving positive praise & feedback…

▫ Heart rate slows

▫ Blood pressure lowers

▫ Adrenaline levels decrease

▫ Muscles relax

▫ It also becomes less memorable.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 42

Page 43: Inspirational feedback

Presenting Positive Feedback

• To make positive feedback more memorable:

1. Give positive feedback that is unexpected.

2. Give feedback that creates positive, esteem boosting nicknames.

3. Give feedback that rhymes or has prose (supports memory).

HOW TO GIVE CONSTRUCTIVE

FEEDBACK

Page 46: Inspirational feedback

TIMING

.

Make sure the time is right. The sooner the

better, but if you're upset about the

situation - or your employee is - take a

"time-out."

Page 47: Inspirational feedback

CHOOSE YOUR

WORDS.

Saying, "You need to do..." or "You're not

doing this properly," can put the receiver on the defensive from the get-go.

Instead, say "I noticed that..." or "I

understand that..." Beginning feedback phrases this way discusses the action or

behaviour that needs to be changed, not the person.

Page 48: Inspirational feedback

START WITH THE POSITIVE

Positive feedback acknowledges good contributions and work well done. Give specific

examples of what the receiver did well.

Let the receiver know the positive impact their

contributions had on the department or organization so they understand the results - this

also lets them know that you see it and appreciate it.

Page 49: Inspirational feedback

BE DESCRIPTIVE AND

TALK ABOUT THE FACTS.

.

Discuss what happened, not how you feel about what happened. Focus on the situation,

describe it, and stay objective.

Give a reason why it's an issue and state the impact it had on the rest of the staff, the

organization, or the customer.

Page 50: Inspirational feedback

COLLABORATE TO COME UP WITH

IDEAS FOR IMPROVEMENT

It's not up to you to come up with all the solutions by yourself - although you can offer suggestions that you think would be

helpful.

Make a point of involving the recipient in this crucial part of the feedback process. This way, the recipient has some

involvement in decision-making, which will result in a greater commitment to see that it's implemented.

A DIFFERENT TOOL FOR GIVING FEEDBACK: HOW TO USE THE PRINCIPLES OF

MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING IN YOUR FEEDBACK TO ENCOURAGE SUBJECT LEARNING

The Use of Motivational Interviewing

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 52

Page 53: Inspirational feedback

Motivational Interviewing & Feedback

• Counseling technique used to help people identify personal reasons for undertaking the hard work of behavior change.

• Based on the stages of changes model of behavior change (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1982).

Pre-comtemplation, Contemplation, Preparation,

Action, & Maintenance

What is MI for Feedback

• A client-centered, semi-directive method of engaging intrinsic motivation to change behavior by developing discrepancy and exploring and resolving ambivalence within the client.

• The core approach to MI is focused on the “helper” being in a stance of trying to connect and find the right stance or approach for each given situation.

• MI discusses three key stances which can be used. These are….

Motivational Interviewing & Feedback

Overview of Motivational Interviewing

Express Empathy

Develop Discrepancy

Avoid Argumentation

Roll with Resistance

Support Self-Efficacy

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 56

Page 57: Inspirational feedback

To Review

• Review the criteria used for the feedback.

• Engage the subject in his/her own self-evaluation.

• Offer your feedback… ▫ Structure with a few negative and several specific

positive.

• Check for Understanding.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 57

Page 58: Inspirational feedback

To Review

• If met with resistance…

▫ Express understanding and role with resistance. Avoid argumentation

▫ Identify discrepancy Where does the subject think s/he is

Where does s/he think s/he needs to be

▫ Identify, using the criteria in syllabus, a plan to get to goal.

Perry C. Francis, Ed.D. 58

Page 59: Inspirational feedback

Principle 1: Express empathy

• The crucial attitude is one of acceptance

• Skilful reflective listening is fundamental to the

client’s feeling understood and cared about.

• Client ambivalence is normal; the clinician should

demonstrate an understanding of the client’s

perspective

• Labelling is unnecessary

Page 60: Inspirational feedback

Example of expressing empathy

I am so tired

that I cannot

even sleep…

So I drink some

wine. You drink wine

to help you

sleep. …When I wake

up…I am too late

for work already…

Yesterday my

boss fired me.

So you are

concerned

about not

having a job.

...but I do not

have a

drinking

problem!

Page 61: Inspirational feedback

Principle 2: Develop discrepancy

• Clarify important goals for the client

• Explore the consequences or potential

consequences of the client’s current

behaviours.

• Create and amplify in the client’s mind a

discrepancy between current behaviour and

life goals

Page 62: Inspirational feedback

Example of developing discrepancy

Well…as I said, I

lost my job

because of my

drinking

problem…and I

often feel sick.

I only enjoy having some drinks

with my friends…that’s all.

Drinking helps me relax and

have fun…I think that I deserve

that for a change… So drinking has

some good things

for you…Now tell me

about the not-so-

good things you

have experienced

because of drinking.

Page 63: Inspirational feedback

Principle 3: Roll with resistance

• Avoid resistance

• If it arises, stop and find another way to proceed

• Avoid confrontation

• Shift perceptions

• Invite, but do not impose, new perspectives

• Value the client as a resource for finding solutions to

problems

Page 64: Inspirational feedback

Example of NOT rolling with resistance

You do not have

the right to judge

me. You don’t

understand me.

I do not want to stop

drinking…as I said, I do not

have a drinking problem…I

want to drink when I feel like it.

But, Anna, I think it

is clear that

drinking has

caused you

problems.

Page 65: Inspirational feedback

Example of rolling with resistance

That’s right, my

mother thinks that I

have a problem, but

she’s wrong.

I do not want to stop

drinking…as I said, I do not

have a drinking problem…I

want to drink when I feel like it.

You do

have a

drinking

problem

Others may think

you have a

problem, but you

don’t.

Page 66: Inspirational feedback

Principle 4: Support self-efficacy

• Belief in the ability to change (self-efficacy) is

an important motivator

• The client is responsible for choosing and

carrying out personal change

• There is hope in the range of alternative

approaches available

Page 67: Inspirational feedback

Example of supporting self-efficacy

I hope things will

be better this

time. I’m willing to

give it a try.

I am wondering if

you can help me. I

have failed many

times.

Anna, I don’t think you

have failed because

you are still here,

hoping things can be

better. As long as you

are willing to stay in the

process, I will support

you. You have been

successful before and

you will be again.

Page 68: Inspirational feedback

OARS

The OARS are the skills that can be used by interviewers to help move clients through the process of change.

Open-ended questions

Affirmation

Reflective listening

Summarising

Page 69: Inspirational feedback

OARS: Open-ended questions

• “Are there good things about using?” vs.

–“What are the good things about your substance use?”

• “Are there bad things about using?” vs.

–“Tell me about the not-so-good things about using”

• “Do you have concerns about your substance use?” vs.

–“You seem to have some concerns about your substance use.

Tell me more about them.”

• “Do you worry a lot about using substances?” vs.

–“What most concerns you about that?”

Close Versus Open-ended questions:

Page 70: Inspirational feedback

OARS: Affirmation

• “Thanks for coming today.”

• “I appreciate that you are willing to talk to me about your substance use.”

• “You are obviously a resourceful person to have coped with those difficulties.”

• “That’s a good idea.”

• “It’s hard to talk about....I really appreciate your keeping on with this.”

Page 71: Inspirational feedback

OARS: Reflective listening

Reflective listening is used to:

• Check out whether you really understood the client

• Highlight the client’s ambivalence about their substance use

• Steer the client towards a greater recognition of her or his

problems and concerns, and

• Reinforce statements indicating that the client is thinking

about change.

Page 72: Inspirational feedback

OARS: Summarize

Summarizing is an important way of gathering

together what has already been said, making

sure you understood the client correctly, and

preparing the client to move on. Summarising

is putting together a group of reflections.
