A Quick Game You only have 5 minutes to complete the task. In pairs – sit back to back If you have the picture given to you: • have a good look at the picture; • Now describe it as best you can to help your partner draw the picture as you see it. If you have a blank piece of paper given to you: • Draw what your partner tells you as best you can within the timescale.
Did you enjoy the exercise? • Did you want to understand? • Are you keen to improve for the future? • Would you like more constructive feedback?
A Two Way Process • If… • Its not clear what you have to do • You’re not given enough time • The instructions are wrong .... then it won’t be a good outcome
Two Way Process • If… • We don’t listen • We don’t respond • We don’t try to record accurately • We don’t try to meet the deadline … then it is unlikely to be a good outcome
Could you do better next time? Giving Instructions: • Talking more clearly • Taking more/less time • Checking that your partner has understood. Receiving Instructions: • Listening more clearly • Taking more/less time • Checking that you have understood correctly
In the World of Work • We are often thrown in at the deep end; • We have to respond to requests; • Or give instructions (e.g. to customers); • We have to try to be helpful; • Perhaps with urgency. • Accuracy may be critical • Communication may be vital • Our listening skills will be essential.
What happens when we are given feedback? Do we understand? Do we want to understand? Do we want to improve? Do we know what to do to improve? Ask… How can I improve next time…?
