🎬 When and Where to Give Feedback
LESSON NOTES
Framework to remember: BOOST
Balanced - but the ‘right’ balance - and don’t overdo it – let the Receiver ask for more feedback if they need it.
Observed - Give facts before opinions, and use observations, not inferences.
Objective - the behavior: not the person - What the person does and can therefore choose to alter rather than what or who they are.
Specific - A generalization is not helpful, if does not give a clear indication of necessary behavioral changes.
Timely
Positive Feedback the Easy Way
• The Little Stroke - “nice work” “well done”
• The Knee-jerk “Wow!” “Fantastic!”
• The Particular Favourite “I really like…” “…is excellent”
Top Tips from my experience…
• Keep it simple
• Take it slowly - don’t rush
• A chunk at a time
• Read their non-verbal cues
• Check to ensure understanding.
• Don’t be afraid of silence
• Don’t feel the need to convince them that you are right - back off if they become defensive. Maybe suggest a break for reflection.
