A Simple Guide to Evaluations
(through three questions)
1. Is it true (to me)?

2. Is it necessary?

3. Is it kind?

This is a guide to effective communication, including

evaluations and conversations.

2
 “It was difficult
to understand
you because of
your strong
accent.”
Is this necessary? How could you
evaluate this in a more effective and
motivating way?
(e.g. Improve enunciation by changing
Pacing and Pausing during the speech)
3
“I loved your
introduction!
It was very
engaging!”
Where is the supporting evidence?

4
“Your eye
contact was
poor. You
looked at the
ground too
much. ”
The speech really came alive for me
during the moments when you looked at
the audience. I’d loved to see more of
that in your next speech.

5
The Backbone of an Effective
Evaluation
1. Personal Opinion**
2. Specificity
3. Focus on the Future
4. Know your Speaker’s Learning Goals

An excellent evaluation of the speaker's potential is unique,

pertinent, and focused on the future.
**Evaluate the speech, not the person.
6
