MAKE FRIENDS WITH FEEDBACK

Harness the power of curiosity, conversation, and community to transform feedback into fuel for success on your terms.

THE PRACTICE

Most of us run from feedback, dreading judgment from others. As a result, we miss out on valuable insights that could propel our work to the next level. CULTIVATING FEEDBACK for Creative Success takes fear out of the feedback process, helping you embrace it to get the clarity you need to move forward to new success. 

ABOUT US

Building on their long artistic collaboration and investigations of creative development, renowned composer Garrett Fisher and Tony Award-winning musical dramaturg Ken Cerniglia demystify feedback for the masses. Their practical insights and techniques, informed by real-life creative adventures, help clients transform feedback from existential threat to invaluable asset.

ABOUT OUR ONLINE COURSE

Problem:

A resistance to feedback—whether from individuals or across teams—is challenging your organizational culture. This reluctance impedes collaboration, stifles innovation, and blocks valuable insights from being integrated into day-to-day workflows. The result: missed opportunities, diminished performance, and a direct impact on your bottom line.

Resistance to feedback challenges your organizational culture.

Solution:

Our dynamic 90-minute workshop introduces a clear, easy-to-learn practice that helps teams build trust, deepen collaboration, and approach feedback with clarity and confidence. By learning how to release resistance to feedback and process it effectively, participants gain tools to elevate both individual and collective performance.

Developed by internationally acclaimed composer Garrett Fisher and Tony Award–winning dramaturg Ken Cerniglia, the Cultivating Feedback practice empowers professionals across industries to engage with feedback from the inside out—authentically, constructively, and sustainably.

Even those most resistant to feedback find themselves disarmed and engaged through a welcoming, nonjudgmental framework that positions the workshop as a practical tool for navigating feedback that’s confusing, hurtful, or just plain wrong. In other words: it’s not about us—it’s about them.

Participants leave empowered with practical strategies to build a culture of trust, encourage meaningful collaboration, and turn feedback into fuel for growth—creating a team environment where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
