How do I give effective feedback?

Asked by Olga G.

OptiModel's answer

Use the "SBI" model: Situation, Behavior, Impact. For example: "In yesterday's client call (Situation), you interrupted twice (Behavior), which made it harder for the client to explain their needs (Impact)." This makes feedback clear, specific, and focused on actions—not personality. Pair constructive feedback with encouragement to reinforce strengths.
