360 Degree Feedback

Self-awareness is Strongly Related to Success in Life and Work.

Knowing what we are good at and not so good at is essential for finding the best path forward toward professional growth and career advancement.

One highly effective tool for development is 360-degree feedback. It offers participants valuable insights into how their skills are perceived by their manager, colleagues, subordinates, and other relevant stakeholders.

By comparing their self-perception with the perspectives of others, they gain a more comprehensive and well-rounded understanding of their strengths and areas for development.

Typically, 360-degree feedback involves a confidential online survey assessing an individual’s level of  skill. Alternatively an experienced coach may conduct confidential interviews with key stakeholders to provide personalised insights.
