The SBI Framework

Situation: "In yesterday's client call." Behavior: "You interrupted the client twice." Impact: "It made them hesitant to share their concerns."

SBI works because it's specific and objective. No judgments, no labels — just observable facts and their impact. This structure keeps the conversation focused on what actually happened rather than on character assessments.
