“I do not think I have met my expectations for this assignment, but based on the past six months it is clear my expectations for making you more effective were too high.”—my performance review July 94
This is the right time mention a personal anecdote . The year would have to be 2010, me and my wife were embarking on a personal trip from BOS to SEA. Waiting to board the same flight I noticed a familiar face in a familiar attire: sneakers, jeans, t-shirt & sweater. As we took our seats on the plane, I notice this person is sitting maybe 10 rows ahead of us. Also in cattle class. That was of course you presumably coming back from a business trip. I was super impressed you were flying just like the rest of us.

Ah, the modesty and level-headedness. A pleasanr/useful example.
