Supervision: Communication and feedback for research supervisors

The School of Graduate Studies facilitates workshops for research supervisors at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland.

As leaders, we need to communicate effectively and use feedback as the powerful and motivating tool that it can be. Good communication is a skill our candidates need to develop whilst in our research group, as it is essential to problem solving, working in a team and adapting to various situations and individuals.

Desiree will discuss:

  • Communication and personality styles
  • Assertiveness and saying NO
  • Constructive feedback
  • Active listening

You will learn about tools and strategies to improve your communication skills and ability to provide efficient feedback. Upon completion, you will receive a guide outlining the key topics and strategies.

Monday 18 August, 2025

4–5pm

Online via Zoom
