Webinar to examine several types of feedback
and practical methods for maximizing effectiveness
University of Phoenix will hold the next installment of its
Educational Equity Webinar Series, “Equitable Feedback: Using
Feedback to Improve Psychological Safety in Teams,” on September
19, 2024, at 12:00pm MDT. The event is part of a public series
intended for educators, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging
(DEIB) practitioners, higher education leaders and administrators,
employers, nonprofit organizations, government affiliates, and
University of Phoenix faculty, staff, students, and alumni across
the globe.
"Effective feedback is essential to building trust and
psychological safety in any professional environment," says Tondra
Richardson, MBA, director of Student Diversity & Inclusion at
University of Phoenix and co-host of the series. "By understanding
how feedback can be both empowering and inclusive, we aim to equip
participants with strategies that foster a culture of open
communication. We’re excited to delve into this critical
conversation and help participants create spaces where feedback
drives growth, collaboration, and equity."
Featuring Marco T. Lindsey, the discussion will explore several
distinct types of feedback methods and how to provide feedback that
encourages psychological safety for professional teams. The session
will also examine ways to create an atmosphere that encourages
feedback loops between managers and direct reports, and how to
prepare for structured feedback conversations to maximize
effectiveness. By the end of the session, participants will be
given the tools to navigate power dynamics in feedback
conversations, effectively convey constructive feedback, give and
receive feedback from colleagues in strained relationships, and
instruct others on preferred methods of receiving feedback.
Lindsey is the Associate Director of Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. He was the
first African American Chief of Staff at Berkeley Haas, where he
has worked and taught for over 17 years. Marco is also a graduate
of the school’s Executive Education program. In addition to his
role at UC Berkeley, he serves as the Principal at MT Lindsey
Consulting. A native Californian, Lindsey volunteers with the Bay
Area chapter of the 100 Black Men of America. In 2017, he was named
“Man of the Year” for his work connecting countless people of color
with opportunities in the tech sector.
The discussion will be hosted by Tondra Richardson, MBA,
director of Student Diversity & Inclusion and Saray Lopez, MBA,
director, Student Diversity & Inclusion, both with the Office
of Educational Equity (OEE) at University of Phoenix. The
Educational Equity Webinar Series is part of a series of events
with which the OEE engages aiming to foster cultural awareness,
thought leadership and community alliances to promote and sustain
educational equity and diversity initiatives. The OEE supports

Leadership Summit and an internal offering for staff and faculty,
