Date of Feedback Conversation:

• Thursday 7/20/17

How did you prepare for the conversation?

• I prepared for the conversation by setting up a time in advance that worked with both my partners scehdule and my own that we could share our feedback in private. I also took some time to reflect and write down some key points of my experience working with my partner throughout our project, as well as observations I made about work-flow. I felt that having key points to discuss would make the conversation flow more smoothly.

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

• I was pleased with the outcome of our conversation. It was easy to keep an open communication flow throught the conversation to which we could both express our thoughts back and fourth. The part that was most difficult for me was being able to express clearly where I thought there was room for improvement in our workflow, although since we did have an open dialouge going on we were able to ask calrifying questions to make sure the feedback was being received in the way it was intended.

What principles of feedback did you use in the conversation?

• During my feedback session I made sure to stay focused on behavior and patterns that were relevant to our working relationship rather than focusing on personality traits. I made sure to keep an open dialouge in which my partner felt comfortable clarifying what I was saying. I also made sure to be very specific with examples of our work process and kept the feedback honest.
