Reflect Afterwards↩️

Create a short narrative (one or two chapters) of what was covered with a list of next steps. Don't be afraid to use emotional adjectives, such as challenging, difficult or complex, if they describe well how the conversation went.

Word choices are important because they create a shared understanding of the discussion afterwards, which promotes more valuable action.

Just stating the facts in the style of "topic x was discussed" without "how it felt" can create resentment, if people start guessing why problems are being hidden.
