Cancellations: Once you enroll, we rely on your attendance.
Class size is often limited and cancelling at the last minute or failing to attend without notice impedes the learning experience for others and an empty seat may also be a missed opportunity for someone who was turned away from a full class. Therefore, we ask that you make every effort to get approval from your supervisor, clear your calendar and arrange for coverage in your absence, in advance.
To cancel, please email talentdev@pace.edu as far in advance as possible and/or try to find a substitute to take your place.
Management Development

High-quality feedback is constructive, behavioral, and actionable, aiding individuals in understanding their strengths, areas for improvement, and the steps necessary for growth and achievement. High-quality feedback is important, but we don't always give it. Why? Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to recognize elements of giving high-quality feedback and identify barriers to giving feedback and how to overcome them.
