## What Jamie wrote

This video is almost an incredibly condensed version of some trainings that I've taken. It outlines a simple 4-step process for giving feedback.

1. **Start with a micro-yes**, start the engagement
2. **Data Point**, specific, avoid "blur words"
3. **Show Impact**, what impact, good or bad, did the action have
4. **End on a question**, gets commitment from the other person

And perhaps even more important, you should seek for and ask for feedback on a regular basis.
