Network. Reflect. Grow. – Professional Networking & Feedback Workshop

Feedback can trigger defensiveness, power dynamics often go unexamined, and creativity can quickly shut down, stalling growth.
About this Event

In professional conversations, tension often replaces progress. Feedback can trigger defensiveness, power dynamics may go unnoticed, and creativity can stall. When this happens, growth slows and valuable energy is wasted.

If you lead, manage, teach or collaborate, you have likely experienced:

• Conversations that felt heavier than necessary

• Feedback that did not land as intended

• Teams that complied outwardly but disengaged inwardly

You are not alone.

Most professionals are not taught how safety and power shape dialogue.

This interactive networking workshop introduces a practical framework to help you:

• Recognise when defence is activated

• Balance power without losing direction

• Create the conditions for reflective dialogue

• Move conversations toward meaningful growth

This is not a lecture—it is a participatory learning experience.

You will connect with like-minded professionals while exploring the 3D Feedback Model in applied discussion.

During the session, you will:

• Engage in structured networking

• Explore how safety regulates creativity

• Examine how power directs development

• Practise conversations that shift from reaction to reflection

You will leave with:

• A clearer understanding of defensive dynamics

• Practical tools to guide professional conversations

• Stronger professional connections

• Greater confidence in leading growth-focused dialogue
