• In addition to what you see in yourself, the observations
of others can also be helpful.

• Some times others see behaviors in us that we don’t see,

especially when we are too involved in activities to pay
attention.

• During observation, keep in mind the following key

concepts:

Situation----------------What is going on?

Specific Behavior-------What happened?
Impact------------------What is the result?

harmful way. Actually sharing observation is an
interpretation of reality. So, be kind and real to yourself
and to others when sharing your observations.

observers. Try to evaluate the feedback and think deeply
on that for yourself improvement.
