An ideal creative environment is one where feedback conversations feel natural and constructive.
Meetings and presentations become opportunities for alignment and innovation, rather than hurdles to overcome. Stakeholders feel valued and engaged, leading to a more collaborative working relationship. And team members confidently navigate feedback discussions, knowing when to adapt and when to stand by their creative vision.
As an in-house creative leader, it is your role to create a team culture where feedback is embraced as a powerful tool for refining ideas and achieving creative excellence.
This carefully curated course takes a deep dive into the purpose and value of feedback and the small changes that can have a big impact to drive both individual growth and stronger collaboration.
