High five, watch out, what about

When sharing feedback, we find this framework really helpful:

• High five: What’s going really well, what have we got right?
• Watch out: What’s not been so great that we could learn from?
• What about: How might we do or try something different, what could make it better?

Examples of when we’ve used this framework:

• When we provide feedback to unsuccessful interview candidates
• For one month and three month reviews with new colleagues
• In annual review meetings with our comms partner, XXX

Pair conversations

These provide two people the space to safely have an depth conversation, check assumptions (mind reads) and check that they have been heard.

We use language rooted in nonviolent communication so that we can move towards a better understanding between the two participants, and practice our desire to build collective power.

They are typically around 75 minutes and are facilitated by Abi or Kayleigh.
