English

What this guide covers

What it is

Learn from one experience

You look back on one recent experience and plan one change.

Which experience? My first talk to the whole team

What happened? I lost my place on slide 4 and rushed the end. What went well? The opening story got a laugh. What will you do next time? Pause after each part and ask for questions. What did not go well? I ran out of time for questions.

First try November 26

Why it helps

Experience teaches when you pause

Looking back, drawing a lesson and trying again turns experience into learning.

Facts first what happened, in order
Both sides what went well and what did not
One change and when you will try it

Filling it in

Fifteen minutes, three steps

Describe what happened, look at both sides, then choose one change.

Describe what happened

Just the facts, in order.

Feelings and both sides

Meaning and next time

What you learned, one change and a date to try it.
