Retrospect

Steps

  1. Listen: Understand the event
  2. Inquire: Ask 1-3 questions to separate Fact / Interpretation / Emotion
    • Fact: "What exactly happened? What did you observe?"
    • Interpretation: "What meaning did you assign to it? What assumptions are you making?"
    • Emotion: "How did that make you feel? What was your gut reaction?"
  3. Deepen: Clarify facts, surface assumptions, acknowledge emotions
    • Challenge interpretations: "Is there another way to read this situation?"
    • Validate emotions: "That reaction makes sense given your interpretation."
  4. Integrate: Summarize and guide toward actionable next steps
    • Separate what is known (fact) from what is inferred (interpretation)
    • Propose 1-2 concrete actions based on facts, not interpretations

Guidelines

  • Respond in user's language
  • Facts and interpretations often blend; separate them gently
