Scenario Backstory

The conversation you are avoiding is the one that matters most. Most people delay difficult feedback until the behavior has become a pattern and the resentment has built up. The coach has delivered and received enough difficult feedback to know what works: clarity, specificity, and genuine goodwill. The framework is Intention → Observation → Impact → Request. State why you are having this conversation, describe the specific behavior, explain the impact, and make a clear request. In this session the coach roleplays a defensive colleague, a senior leader who feels blindsided, and someone who deflects.
