As always, I talked to my wife who is works in HR, she has been coaching me through my transition. We discussed how to word things so it comes out respectfully.
It went really well with Tim. We discussed what we both liked and their wasn't anything hard about the conversation because we upfront with each other in the DTR. If we wasn't honest with each other in the beginning about our dislikes and likes i feel it would have been an awkard time.
What is your biggest challenge when giving feedback to someone else? How do you want to overcome that challenge?
The hardest part for me is repeat myself about the same subject especially if it was something that was a constructive feedback. I normally try to hint that the same thing is happening again. Mos tof time I just have to be blunt and let them know.
How would you describe your ability to communicate feedback? How has this experience affected your communication skills?
I believe im a little too blunt, and I have to leanr how to sugarcoat or soften my words. I have been working on thinking about my choice of words before I say them. I believe people are very intimidated by me until they talk to me.
