Feedback isn’t just for annual reviews—it’s a year-round mission! While giving feedback might seem daunting, especially the annual performance type, only 14% of employees feel yearly reviews truly inspire improvement. Regular, positive feedback, however, boosts employee engagement fourfold according to the Gallup ‘Re-engineering Performance Management’ survey.

Recognising this, Catherine Lemaréchal and I recently designed and delivered a 2,5-hour workshop for a global senior leadership team at Equinor focusing on practical role plays and our custom SBI-F model which focuses on specific behaviours and their impacts when giving feedback.

The session received fantastic feedback, showing how essential continuous positive reinforcement is. We were thrilled to hear how Jeff Lukasik
(VP Subsurface at Equinor), summed up this hands-on training experience:

“Thank you Arnold and Catherine for the very good and impactful session yesterday. I liked and appreciated the way you made the model clear, you role modeled it together, and engaged the teams afterwards in a constructive way. All of the feedback I have had from the team was that it was very much needed and we need to do more of it… Quite an impact!”

Thank you Jeff and team for allowing us to partake in this experience and meeting your inspiring and engaged leadership team!

Curious about how you can create a culture of continuous feedback and create new habits by start doing? Please reach out to Catherine Lemaréchal or myself for a conversation.
