Date of feedback conversation: 10/13/2017

How did you prepare for the conversation?
I did some journaling, processed with a few people, and reached out to some staff members for help with insight and direction about my experiences.

How did the conversation go for you? What was easy about the conversation? What was more difficult?
I had difficutly getting my teammates to talk about or reply to messages about times to get together to talk, and an instructor recommended that I might just try writing instead, so that's what I did.
I haven't gotten any verbal or written feedback from anyone on my team.


What principles of feedback did you use in the conversation?
Iworked really hard to leave out assumptions and just use observations. Interestingly, one team member kept saying that I was making a ton of assumptions and by the end of a very heated discussion he realized that he was actually making assumptions about what I thought. He read into my observations that I thought he was lazy.  When I explained that I had actually assumed that he felt stuck and I wanted him to reach out for help (and that I tried really hard to avoid saying that because I was afraid he might think I though he was not 'smart enough') the conversation totally shiften and we ended with him offering to give me a high five. It was really uncomfortable for about 20 minutes though...
