When to use it

Before giving anybody feedback.

The steps

  1. Observe a communication performance.
  2. Write only what a camera would have recorded.
  3. Remove every interpretation. Not you were nervous, but you looked down three times while answering.
  4. Identify the likely effect separately.
  5. Turn the observation into something usable.

You know it worked when

You can describe the behaviour without going at the person.

What else it works, and why

Connection
An observation is only useful once it can be received.

Which drill is yours, in what order and at what dose, is not something a page can tell you. That is what a Discovery Call is for.
