Your state
Why it matters.
Unspoken feedback curdles; badly spoken feedback burns. Specific, behavioural feedback is the only kind that improves work and keeps the relationship.
What success looks like.
- One feedback conversation about behaviour, not character.
- Specific examples instead of general verdicts.
- An agreed change recorded — and followed up.
The component skills.
Typical mistakes.
- — 'You always…' — verdicts on people, not behaviour.
- — Feedback without an example, which is just an opinion.
- — No follow-up: feedback that never checks whether it worked.
Practise — activities that produce artifacts.
Behaviour-vs-person rewrite ~20 min
Take one complaint you've been holding and rewrite it as behaviour + impact + request ('When X happened, Y was the impact; I'm asking for Z').
Artifact: The rewritten feedback
The specific-example builder ~15 min
For your rewritten feedback, write the one specific recent example that proves it — a real moment, not a pattern you're sure of.
Artifact: The example, with date and moment
Missions — do it for real.
Mentors for this capability.
Matched from real, opted-in Lifelong Careers members through the Mentor Intelligence Network — with their trust states shown as stored. Source-listed is not the same as verified.
No opted-in mentors match this capability yet — none are invented. See the Mentors view or the full directory.
How assessment works.
Every submission gets a transparent first-pass against the mission's rubric — what was looked for and what was observed. Verified state requires a real review; the system never upgrades self-reported evidence on its own.
clarity
Short sentences, concrete words, no unexplained jargon
audience_fit
Words and comparisons the audience can follow
question_handling
Answers with point-reason-example; unknowns admitted openly
follow_through
What happened afterwards — the result and what changed
self_awareness
Honest signals: what you noticed, what was hard, what you'd change
Accepted evidence: mission_submission, mentor_review, observed_application, work_sample.
Stated plainly — what this doesn't do
- — Submissions are private, self-reported evidence — they never become verified without a real review.
- — Mentor review for capabilities arrives in a later phase of this module.
