Ask for feedback and review agreements · D5.6

Make an agreement you can keep

You want your words and actions to match in a relationship.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose one specific promise or responsibility under discussion.
2. Clarify what you will do, by when, and what is outside the agreement.
3. Complete it or communicate a change rather than leaving the other person to guess.

An example

I can send the notes by Wednesday, but I cannot review the whole report.

Reflect

Was the agreement realistic and understood the same way by both people?

Next time

Use follow-through as information; it does not guarantee another person’s trust.
