Feedback

A
  • Feedback is a message sent from the receiver back to the sender
  • Feedback is a gift of one’s thoughts and feelings about another’s behaviour
  • Verbal feedback provides (through words) the receiver’s understanding of the sender’s message and personal reaction to it
  • Nonverbal feedback registers the other’s reaction to the sender’s message through facial expressions and body language
