To give and get feedback confidently, we've asked Sunny Cho, one of ELA's Certified Expert ERG Trainers, to do another Learning Lab. This time, she will share a powerful organizational psychology feedback tool called SBI that can be used in many ways, including managing conflicts and your professional development.
