Feedback
A constructive debrief is part of the ‘Plan and Prepare, Execute and Reflect and Evaluate’ feedback loop. (More on this in episode #629.)
Such a ‘post performance review’ (never use the term ‘post-mortem’ as it has so many negative connotations) is most practically held just after the show or session, but be aware that it could therefore be emotionally-laden in which case postpone it til the next day.
Discuss:
· What went well and why
o How you can recreate it another time
· What could have gone better
o How that can be avoided in the future
It may be that such feedback is very informal, not so much a meeting but a passing comment by a colleague in the corridor. Step away from those who you know aren’t constructive but find instead someone who knows how to give honest but polite ideas on how to improve.
Improve your strengths, reduce your weaknesses – and increase your confidence.
