While feedback focuses on past events, feedforward focuses on \seqsplit{possibilities} for the future. It's a shift away from "You talked too fast during that \seqsplit{presentation"}, to "Next time you present, try taking a pause between each slide, it will help you to re-balance and your delivery will be more effective." & The DESC feedback technique - describe, express, specify, consequences - is a simple and powerful way to express to an individual what you would like them to do more, less, or differently to enhance their performance and maximise their \seqsplit{effectiveness}. & What/why This is a really simple method that's easy to adopt. When delivering positive feedback, you tell the individual what they did and why it was effective. For example, "I feel you answered the client's question very succinctly, and I could see that they really valued you summarising it and making it clear." \tn % Row Count 29 (+ 29) \hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{DarkBackground}}---} \end{tabularx} \par\addvspace{1.3em} \begin{tabularx}{5.377cm}{X} \SetRowColor{DarkBackground} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{5.377cm}}{\bf\textcolor{white}{Purpose}} \tn % Row 0 \SetRowColor{LightBackground} \mymulticolumn{1}{x{5.377cm}}{The main purpose of giving feedback is to improve the work somebody is doing by giving them comments about the performance or work they are doing.
