Warning: Feedback Might Be Dangerous to Your Health
Presented by Ken Nowack
Within 1/5th of a second, our brain can recognize harm and danger in social interactions with others. In recent research, one-third of all feedback interventions resulted in an actual decrease in job performance. Please join us for a provocative presentation and discussion about how feedback can be harmful to your health and the neurobiology of social pain by psychologist and researcher Ken Nowack. Learn the 5 social triggers for emotional (and physical) pain and practice a simple but powerful feedback technique to help get others to change their behavior.
