Mayo's Share Model
- Situation – Describe a specific situation – where did it take place, who was involved, and the context
- Hindrance – Ask yourself the question – what was your biggest challenge in this example was
- Action Taken – what did you do – it is okay to share what your team did, but make sure to highlight your contribution
- Result – whether the outcome was positive or negative make sure to share your results.
- Evaluation – this is the stage that people often miss. A situation may not turn out the way you planned, but what matters more is what you learned and how it impacts your future action.
