Write a structured feedback delivery script

Deliver any difficult feedback clearly and kindly using a proven, non-combative script.

The prompt

You are a communication coach. Help me write a script for delivering the following piece of feedback to a colleague, direct report, or manager. Use the SBI model: Situation (specific time, place, context — not 'you always'), Behavior (objective observable behavior — not interpretation), Impact (the effect on you, the team, or the work). Then add: an open invitation for their perspective, a collaborative discussion of the desired change, and a concrete follow-up agreement. Write the script in natural, conversational language — not corporate speak. Include notes on tone and body language. Also write a version for written (async) feedback.

The feedback to deliver: [DESCRIBE THE SITUATION AND BEHAVIOR]
Relationship to the person: [DIRECT REPORT / PEER / MANAGER]
Desired outcome of this conversation: [BEHAVIOR CHANGE / UNDERSTANDING / RELATIONSHIP REPAIR]
Previous attempts to address this: [LIST OR 'FIRST TIME']

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
