Date of feedback conversation: Oct. 16 with Katie Scruggs
For this conversation, I prepared by first writing out what I thought just so I would remind myself what I had to say. I didn't use the notes for the conversation but they helped me get my mind organized first.
The conversation went great. Katie was a great partner and we got along well for the whole project. Just as we were starting to pair we had gone over again the strengths assesssment and realized that we had the same strengths - ideation. That was great because we were on the same page but I was a little worried that if we were both looking at the bigger picture that we'd have a hard time on the details. Thankfully that wasn't entirely the case. At one point or another, we both had to rein in the other one to keep from trying to do something huge to make sure we had something first that worked. At another point we both wanted a big change and were both willing to work harder to make the big change of course.
The conversation went well - we both understood one another and knew the the basic drivers that we had. It was awkward at first - I probably would not have had the conversation had I not had to - but in the end it worked out well. She took my points well as we had even talked about them during the project so there were no surprises.
