- What is the four-part formula that you can use to say any difficult message well?

= Micro-yes, Data point, End on a question and Pull feedback.

- Which one of these parts do you think you could improve on and do better for yourself "and why"?

=The Data point and End on a question, because I mostly just give my feedback, unless the other person gave me space for discussion.

- Why do you think it's so important to cultivate a feedback culture here on 7 Cups?

= Because it is all about either listening to members or assisting other listeners, so if we can’t provide feedback right, both won’t improve as they won’t listen to what needs improvement.

What is the four-part formula that you can use to say any difficult message well?

The Four Part forumla is the micro-yes, data point, show impact, and end on a question.

Which one of these parts do you think you could improve on and do better for yourself?

I think I could most improve on the end on a question note. I need to remind myself to do that more consistently.

Why do you think it's so important to cultivate a feedback culture here on 7 Cups?

I think it's very important to cultivate a feedback culture here because we all can benefit from feedback. Knowing we are going to receive feedback helps prepare us to accept it constructively and really hone in on making improvements.

@Heather225 - What is the four-part formula that you can use to say any difficult message well?

Micro yes, sharing data points and leaving blur words, letting them know how the work got affected, Ending with a question.

- Which one of these parts do you think you could improve on and do better for yourself "and why"?

I could improve on Sharing data points and leaving blur words. Because not being specific about the problem and the blur words added to it will hamper the feedback. In fact, the other may not really know what we are talking about if we don't share our data points.

- Why do you think it's so important to cultivate a feedback culture here on 7 Cups?

By cultivating a feedback culture on 7 cups, we can improve our performance personally and professionally. With feedback, one can save time and effort by doing things right with the right tools.

1. The micro-yes
2. Data-point
3. Show-impact
4. End on a question

- Which one of these parts do you think you could improve on and do better for yourself "and why"?

I usually lack of data-point in my feedbacks and use vague comments mostly. I can try to be more clear and on point in my feedbacks.

Nobody is perfect and sometimes outside perspective may needed to understand ourself better.

What is the four-part formula that you can use to say any difficult message well?

1. Ask a short, context-setting question, like “Do you have a minute to chat about that presentation?”

2. Be specific. Instead of saying “You seem like you don’t care about this project,” give a concrete example of something that happened.

3. Make an impact statement about how that action impacted you.

4. Wrap it up with a question that puts the ball back in the other person’s court to create a commitment: “what do you think we should do?”

- Which one of these parts do you think you could improve on and do better for yourself "and why"? Slow down and speak clearly so could be understand.

- Why do you think it's so important to cultivate a feedback culture here on 7 Cups? To allow valuable growth of members, listeners and the entire organization. Set aside ego and avoid becoming defensive in order to cultivate a productive feedback culture.

I like how you said we must put aside our egos, and not get defensive I think it’s important in order for us to absorb the feedback and actually make a change

the micro-yes, data points, show impact, end on a question

- Which one of these parts do you think you could improve on and do better for yourself "and why"?

I feel like I could be more specific on data points, which gives the receiver of feedback a clearer image of the situation, and a more cohesive story.

- Why do you think it's so important to cultivate a feedback culture here on 7 Cups?

I think it's important to cultivate a feedback culture on cups because there's always something to improve on here. We should work towards destigmatizing mistakes so that people have a comfortable and positive environment to grow in. If feedback is a normal part of our culture at 7cups, it'll be easier to accept feedback and grow.
