Dr. Karen Postal is a veritable rock star in the neuropsych world. In addition to an appointment at Harvard Medical School and serving as president of the AACN, she has developed a research program that directly informs her clinical practice from day to day. Today she talks with me all about her book, Feedback that Sticks…, the culmination of over 80 interviews with practicing neuropsychologists about the ins and outs of effective feedback sessions. Here are just a few things that I took away from this interview:
- Two “rookie mistakes” that we often make in a feedback session
- Four “common denominators” for a successful feedback session
- Clear suggestions for managing difficult feedback
- Why improv classes will help you during a feedback session
