Feedback II Reflection

• Date of feedback conversation: 10/14/17

• How did you prepare for the conversation?

  Getting ready to do my feedback talk with Patrick was pretty easy as I felt the pairing went really well. I think he and I had already established a familiar rapport heading into the project and working with him on something that was fun, yet challenging, only deepened this familiarity. I made some mental notes of particular things I wanted to talk about, but didn't feel as though I needed to heavily prepare.

• How did the conversation go for you? What was easy about the conversation? What was more difficult?

  Overall, the conversation was really easy. I feel like we addressed some of the mutual concerns we had, such as getting a somewhat slow start, but I think we were both really happy with the end result. Not only did we get the project done, but we created something beyond what we had anticipated. There weren't really any difficult points of the conversation and I think we both felt a lot of personal growth from having paired with one another.

• What principles of feedback did you use in the conversation?

  Talking to Patrick I really just made sure to highlight how much I appreciated the hard work he had done. Some times I have a hard time setting time aside on the weekend to work with other people. Patrick is very good at this and was willing to come to my house and work on the project. I made sure to let him know that I appreciated his willingness to reach out and get things done, which, in turn, has made me try to be more aware of that for future projects.
