Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces, reflecting on "qué salió bien" is a common de‑brief practice. It shows a proactive attitude and helps build a positive team culture. Avoid using "qué salió mal" right after the meeting unless you’re specifically asked for constructive criticism, as it can sound overly critical.
