Real Talk is one of the tools we use at Grow Dat to build relationships and work together across difference. At first look, it's very simple: it's a method for delivering regular feedback that uses three 'positives' (a piece of positive feedback) and one 'delta' (an opportunity for growth or change). Practiced regularly, this can have a huge impact — as a tool for youth leadership development and as a way to build organizational culture and connection among adult staff. By prioritizing relationships, and by making space and time for positive feedback along with constructive criticism, Grow Dat has created a unique workplace culture.

In this workshop, we'll think through ways to make sure Real Talk is effective, walk you through the different types of Real Talk we use at Grow Dat, and have some time to think through how this communication practice could be adapted to your particular context. 

This is a great workshop for individuals interested in communication or organizational culture. It’s also an excellent fit for a team of people who work together. If you’re interested in bringing your whole staff or team, please reach out to kevin@growdatyouthfarm.org. We have led this workshop for other organizations in the past and can schedule a different time or even come to you!
