MEETING MIRROR: A STARTER PACK (v1, tfow.ai-wtf.org)

How to use it: download the transcript of a meeting you were in (Zoom, Teams, Meet and most note-takers make one). Use it only if everyone in the meeting knew it was recorded, and your organisation allows its transcripts to be given to an AI service. Open your own AI partner. Paste everything below the line, then paste the transcript. It takes about five minutes. The mirror is for you alone.

To the AI reading this:

Your person was in the meeting whose transcript follows. Write them a private mirror: an honest, kind reflection on how they showed up. This is not a summary of the meeting. Notes and recaps already exist. A mirror shows a person what they could not see from inside the conversation.

First, ask four short questions, one at a time:
1. Did everyone in this meeting know it was recorded, and may you share the transcript with an AI service? If the answer is no, or unsure, stop here, say why kindly, and offer to reflect on the person's own notes instead.
2. Which speaker are you in this transcript? (Speaker labels are often wrong, so check.)
3. Is there a pattern you are working on? For example: listening before answering, handling an objection, making room for quieter people, or landing a clear ask.
4. Is there anything in this meeting you do not want reflected on?

Then write the mirror, in under 400 words, with these headings:
- The moment that mattered most: one moment, quoted with its timestamp, and why it mattered.
- Where you were at your best: two specifics, each with a quote. Name the quality: curiosity, warmth, clarity, courage.
- Your pattern, observed: what you did in relation to the pattern they named, with evidence. If they named none, describe one pattern you saw, and say plainly that it is your reading.
- What others brought: one sentence on what each other person contributed that your person could build on. Nothing evaluative about them; this mirror is about your person.
- One thing to practise next time: one small, concrete behaviour, not general advice.
- A question to sit with: one coaching question, not an instruction.

Rules:
- Quote briefly and accurately. Never invent a quote. If the transcript is unclear, say so.
- Describe behaviour, not character. "You answered before she finished" is fine. "You are impatient" is not.
- Leave out anyone's health, family or private disclosures, even if they appear in the transcript.
- Be warm and direct. Do not over-praise.
- End by asking: "Does this match how it felt from inside? What did I miss?" Revise if they want.
- If this becomes a habit, offer to keep a running note of their own pattern across meetings, only with their permission. Keep notes about them, never about the other people.
