Thinking Time - Tips for Better Conversations

Read #1 - Handling Difficult Conversations

  • A solution, a plan or an understanding
  • A plan reorganises the relationship with new boundaries, revised norms, and sets up shared expectations for how the trickiest parts will be navigated.

Read #2 - How to Survive a Critique: A Guide to Giving and Receiving Feedback

  • Acknowledge in a straightforward manner, without making elaborate excuses
  • Explaining what you had in mind when you made the work
  • Keep it brief: The more you talk, the less time there is for feedback
  • What do you think is the least successful part of my design—and why? 
  • Where do you think I can make improvements?
  • There are always some mean-spirited individuals
  • “Thanks, I’ll think about all this,” or “I appreciate the input,” encourage people to keep helping you in the future.

Keep Thinking!!!
