Reflection on in-person feedback

Date of Conversation: 4/21/2017

Project: Bike Share

  • How did you prepare for this conversation?

    In preparing for this conversation I thought about two different things: What area do I want to recieve feedback on and what areas do I think are most important to give feedback on for my partners. I also tried to think about what blind spots I might have in my own performance and how to solicit feedback on those areas. Overall our project was a really successful and I enjoyed working with both partners so I had to think a little bit harder about what kind of coaching to give and how to frame it for the best possible impact.

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

    Overall the conversation went really well. We all agreed that the project went well for us and that we had a strong group dynamic. It was easy to find positive feedback to give to my partners because they were so many different ways that they were deserving of it. I tend to get self-conscious about my contributions to group work and worry that my performance didn't meet the expectations of my partners so it was affirming to hear how much my presence in the group was appreciated. The only difficulty that I think we all had was in framing our coaching feedback in a way that didn't detract from the strong contributions that each member of our group made.

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

    I tried to think about the intentions of my feedback vs how it was recieved and made sure to ask my partners after I gave them feedback if that feedback made sense to them and if they had any thoughts on that feedback that they would like to share with me so that it would be easier to clear up any misconceptions.

  • Other comments:

    While this feedback session was relatively easy do to our positive feelings about our project, I think I would have found it more difficult if our project hadn't gone so well.
