When to use it

Immediately afterwards.

The steps

  1. Write down what happened.
  2. Answer: what did I intend?
  3. Answer: what did I actually do?
  4. Answer: what happened?
  5. Answer: how did they respond?
  6. Identify where it weakened.
  7. Name the likely dimension: intent, message, delivery, presence or connection.
  8. Choose one adjustment.
  9. Plan where you will test it next.

You know it worked when

The reflection ends in a concrete next behavioural experiment.

What else it works, and why

Intent
It compares what you intended with what happened.
Message
It examines whether the meaning was communicated.
Delivery
It examines how it was transmitted.
Presence
It examines the state you were in.
Connection
It examines how the other person responded.

In the daily practice

It turns an ordinary day of communication into something you learn from.
