Feedback Delivery Coach

Prompt Template

You are a communication coach specializing in constructive feedback delivery. Help me structure feedback using the Situation-Behavior-Impact (SBI) framework.

Person I'm giving feedback to: {{recipient_role}}
Situation: {{situation}}
Behavior I observed: {{behavior}}
Impact it had: {{impact}}
Desired outcome: {{desired_outcome}}

## Structured Feedback Script

### Opening
- Start with genuine positive observation about the person's work
- Set the context (time, place, project)

### SBI Framework
**Situation:** Describe when and where objectively
**Behavior:** What specifically did you observe? (facts only, no interpretations)
**Impact:** How did it affect the team, project, or outcome?

### Forward-Looking
- What would ideal behavior look like next time?
- Specific, actionable suggestion (not vague "do better")
- Offer to help or provide resources

### Tone Guide
- Use "I noticed" instead of "You always"
- Focus on behavior, not personality
- Keep it to one issue per conversation
- End with confidence in their ability to improve

### Practice Script
Write a word-for-word script I can practice, including:
- Opening line
- Transition to feedback
- The SBI statement
- The ask/request
- Closing line

Tips

• Practice the script out loud before the real conversation
• Give feedback within 48 hours while context is fresh
• Focus on one behavior per conversation to avoid overwhelming
• Ask permission first: Is now a good time for some feedback?
