Think about some feedback you recently received. Describe the feeback in as much detail as you can remember.
Answer these three questions about the feedback.
- Was the feedback clear or opaque?
- Was it immediate or delayed?
- How did the feedback make you feel?
| Instead of ... | Try ... |
|---|---|
| Can I give you some feedback? | |
| Good job! | |
| Here’s what you should do. | |
| That won’t really work. | |
| You need to improve your communication skills. | |
| You are slow to complete you work | |
| You spin your wheels for too long before asking for help. |
Rewrite that actual feeback your received imagining the feedback giver replaying their reactions to you.
