Providing Feedback

The next step is to encourage self-assessment by EXPLORING how your co-worker felt about the appointment. It may be tempting to jump right in and offer your feedback after sitting quietly the entire time, but allowing your co-worker to paint a picture, from their perspective, lets you focus more on the needs and skills he or she identifies. You may even find that you don’t need to share much of your input because your co- worker is highly motivated to improve on specific skills. In this case perhaps spend the rest of your time pulling examples from the notes you’ve taken.

Some questions to ask may include: How do you feel the appointment went? What do you think went well? What did you learn? What are you taking away from the appointment?
