After the Conversation
The Debrief
What you'll learn
- →Debrief any hard conversation within 24 hours by writing three things: what happened, what you felt, what surprised you.
- →Don't edit, don't explain, don't justify — just capture.
- →Recognize that the debrief is for your future self, not for the other person.
Proof task
Don't just watch. Do.
If you've had a hard conversation in the last week, do the debrief tonight. Three short sections, no editing. The act of capturing it is the practice. Reading it back next month is where the lessons live.
