Hi Andrew,
On the journey to make any team you¡¯re on better, you¡¯ll practice how to effectively communicate with everyone. Our Discussion Sessions are carefully designed to provide opportunities for you to practice these critical communication skills in various ways. Last week's theme was 'information overload.' How can you manage extensive information to arrive at an optimal decision? No right or wrong answers, just interesting conversations with kids from around the world.
Here¡¯s some feedback on how you used your voice in the Discussion Sessions you attended:

Communication Analysis
Andrew, during the recent Discussion sessions we made some observations we would like to share with you about your communication abilities.
In your recent sessions, you displayed moments of clarity, especially when discussing topics with concrete details, such as when you mentioned, ¡°Your new car is significantly more fuel efficient, potentially saving over $100 a month's gas.¡± This demonstrated your ability to tie scenario-based information back to practical implications, which enhances the clarity of your communication. However, your tendency to provide overly brief or truncated responses like ¡°Yeah,¡± ¡°No,¡± and ¡°Thank you¡± often lacks the necessary context to fully convey your thoughts. Continuing the comparison with previous feedback, it seems there has been some recurrence of this issue as before, you tended to keep remarks brief without further explanation. To improve, offering more detailed explanations and connecting your ideas could greatly enhance the depth and clarity of your contributions.
Your active listening has shown through at times by repeating questions and prompting your peers for their opinions, as noted in, ¡°guys what do you guys think?¡± This suggests an intent to engage your teammates in discussion. However, from the feedback, it's noted that your active listening could be enriched by not just acknowledging but also building more on what others say. You have maintained a consistency in this from previous sessions where you were recognized for referencing your peers' inputs constructively. To further this skill, consider providing tailored responses or follow-up questions which can deepen your engagement in discussions.
As for your empathetic engagement and questioning, while you often use questions to involve others, they sometimes lack the depth needed to drive a meaningful dialogue, for example, questions like ¡°worth the pay?¡± could benefit from more context or specificity to elicit more detailed responses from peers. Comparatively, your earlier feedback highlighted a similar need for open-ended queries that facilitate comprehensive dialogue. Enhancing questioning techniques could further enrich interactions within your group, cultivating a more dynamic discussion where multiple perspectives are explored, and collective intelligence is elevated. You¡¯ve shown potential in connecting with practical empathy, but further incorporating emotional awareness and understanding into your conversational style can deepen your relationships and effectiveness as a communicator.

Anyone who knows how to make any team they¡¯re on better is able to keep improving their skills and correcting their errors. We look forward to seeing you at future Discussion Sessions and we¡¯ll continue giving you feedback on how you¡¯ve progressed in using your voice.
