The four point formula is Micro-Yes, Data Point, Show Impact, & End on a Question.
I believe I could benefit and improve on Showing Impact.
I think it’s important to cultivate feedback because we are all learning and growing, no matter what pace it takes us. There is always room to improve. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, we just learn how to manage and improve along the way. We are a community helping one another and this is why the community is strong.
- What is the four-part formula that you can use to say any difficult message well?
Micro-Yes, Data Point, Impact and End on a Question.
- Which one of these parts do you think you could improve on and do better for yourself "and why"?
I think I could improve on ending in a question. This can provide a great source of feedback and for reflection.
- Why do you think it's so important to cultivate a feedback culture here on 7 Cups?
I think it is so important to cultivate a feedback culture on 7 Cups because it helps us to improve. We are human, therefore, we don't just have strengths, we have weaknesses too. If we weren't to gain feedback we wouldn't know if we did good and what areas we could improve on. It's like a math test, if you were to do a math test and you got told that you did a good job but have room for more improvement but then left, you might feel confused because, yes, you know you need to improve but you wouldn't know what area to focus on improving.

Data point

It's hard to be perfect and we all need to learn as we go :)
@optimisticDay8079 great answer!
@optimisticDay8079, I absolutely agree! None of us are perfect and while we may exceed in some areas we may not in other areas and that is where we can focus on!

Because it's a way for all of us to keep learning! it's awesome to have someone appreciate our work and give us tips to do better
What is the four-part formula that you can use to say any difficult message well?
•The micro-yes
•Datapoint
•Show impact
•End with a question
- Which one of these parts do you think you could improve on and do better for yourself "and why"?
I'd say the show impact one as I want even small words to have big positive effect on the member in this art
- Why do you think it's so important to cultivate a feedback culture here on 7 Cups?
It's important as no one is perfect and we all have some scope of improvement so feedbacks help us know where we need to improve and we can be better
@Heather225
1. What is the four-part formula that you can use to say any message well?
The four-part formula is the micro yes, data point, show impact and end with a question.
2. What is the one part that you think you can improve upon and why?
The one part would be data point because I should uplift my ability to be specific to the person I am giving feedback to.
3. Why do you think it is important to cultivate a feedback culture on 7 cups?
Feedbacks are integral to the improvement of a community. It tells us where we need to work more, where our abilities are lacking and what we are doing correctly or incorrectly. As 7 cups is a supportive community, feedback becomes even more important so that we can maintain and better this environment.
@Heather225
- What is the four-part formula that you can use to say any difficult message well?
The four-part formula is "The Micro-Yes", "Data Point", "Show Impact", and "End on a Question".
- Which one of these parts do you think you could improve on and do better for yourself "and why"?
"The Micro-Yes" is the part which I think I need to improve the most. This is because usually when I give feedback, I start directly to the point. I never reliazed that this kind of approach can make the other person nervous.
- Why do you think it's so important to cultivate a feedback culture here on 7 Cups?
It is important to cultivate feedback culture on 7 Cups because we are a community that strives to be better and better, connecting to our idea of having "high expectations". We need to continuously improve ourselves so we can provide improved support to people who visit our community.
@Heather225
- What is the four-part formula that you can use to say any difficult message well?
to listen, show impact in what is going on, know what i want to relay and end the question
- Which one of these parts do you think you could improve on and do better for yourself "and why"?
showing impact
- Why do you think it's so important to cultivate a feedback culture here on 7 Cups?
We are from all different cultures what is done or said in one may not be the same in my culture
- What is the four-part formula that you can use to say any difficult message well?
The Micro-yes, data point, show impact, and ask a question.
- Which one of these parts do you think you could improve on and do better for yourself "and why"?
I think I can improve on showing impact because usually I try to avoid saying how impacts me because it might guilt-trip them. I think I didn't want to make them feel bad about it.
- Why do you think it's so important to cultivate a feedback culture here on 7 Cups?
I think it's important to cultivate a feedback culture here on 7 Cups because if done properly, this would be the main way to help us thrive and improve on our existing work. This would also allow members of the community to express their thoughts and ideas on different projects and progress made.
