Feedback, repair, defensiveness and repeated behaviour

Overview

Overview

This workshop helps teams hold intention, experienced impact and accountability together. Participants practise noticing harm, receiving feedback, repairing trust and changing the conditions that allow exclusion to repeat.

Choose this focused module when defensiveness, repeated mistakes or weak follow-through are preventing inclusive intentions from changing team experience.

What we cover

What we cover

  • Intent — useful context that does not provide immunity from impact.
  • Impact — perspective, context, power and reasonableness.
  • Accountability — responsibility without humiliation.
  • Mistakes and patterns — distinguishing learning from resistance or repetition.
  • Cumulative harm — microaggressions and unequal emotional labour.
  • Defensiveness — denial, minimisation and reversal.
  • Correction — responding simply and keeping the affected person out of the educator role.
  • Apology and repair — acknowledgement, impact, action and changed behaviour.
  • Ally intervention — stepping in as a colleague, bystander or manager.
  • Escalation — recognising when informal learning is no longer sufficient.
  • System learning — improving scripts, processes and team expectations.

Frequently asked questions

Five things people ask before booking

How many people can take part?

Workshops are run for your team rather than for a public audience, so the group size is yours to set. Most suit between 10 and 25 participants; we will advise on the right number for the format and the room you have.

Is it delivered in person or online?

Either. Most workshops work in person, online, or as a hybrid. The outline for each course assumes in-person delivery, but we shape the format to how your team is spread and what your space allows.

Can you tailor it to our organisation?

Yes. The outline is a starting point, not a fixed script. We shape the content to your sector, your policies, and the decisions your people actually face, so the day lands on your context rather than a generic example.

How long is it, and what do we need on our side?

The duration is shown on the course page. For an in-person session we need a room large enough for the group and any breakouts; for an online session, a quiet space and a stable connection for each participant. We bring the rest.

What does it cost, and how do we book?

Pricing is on application (POA) — it depends on the group size, the format, and how much tailoring you need. Tell us what you have in mind via the contact page and we will quote for your organisation. We do not publish a fee schedule.
