Performance – a state of mind (and body)

• Eye contact• Sitting, fidgeting• Facial gestures• Smile• Posture
• Desperation is deeply unattractive

Performance – communication is a two-way process
• Listen
• Talk clearly, slowly
• Answer the question
• Use active words/statements
• Do not swear! Or interrupt

Performance – next steps

• Within 24 hours
• A learning process
• After action review
• What went well?• What did not go so well?• What will I do differently next time?
