What you'll get

Expected output

Designing a 90-Minute Manager Feedback Workshop

Objective (5 min)

Participants will be able to articulate the Situation-Behavior-Impact (SBI) feedback model.
Participants will demonstrate the ability to construct and deliver constructive feedback using the SBI model.
Participants will practice actively receiving feedback.

Standard (5 min)

This workshop aligns with the organizational objective of cultivating a culture of direct communication and continuous improvement. It directly supports manager development by equipping them with a structured framework for delivering actionable, respectful feedback, thereby enhancing team performance and fostering individual growth.

Hook (10 min)

Activity: "Feedback Reflections." Participants anonymously write down one positive and one challenging experience they've had giving or receiving feedback. Facilitator collects and reads a few aloud, sparking a brief discussion on common feedback dilemmas and the desire for more effective methods.
Discussion: A brief group share-out: "What makes feedback truly effective from your perspective?"

Direct Instruction (20 min)

Introduction to the SBI Model: Explain each component:

* Situation: The specific time and place where the behavior occurred. * Behavior: The observable action or statement made. * Impact: The effect of the behavior on you, others, or the business.

Key Principles: Emphasize the importance of timeliness, specificity, focusing on observable behaviors, and maintaining a constructive intent. Discuss how SBI provides a factual, non-judgmental approach, suitable for our organization's direct communication culture.
Demonstration: Facilitator provides a live demonstration of giving SBI feedback for a common workplace scenario (e.g., a team member consistently interrupting during meetings).

Practice (40 min)

Small Group Scenario Analysis (15 min): Participants divide into triads. Each triad receives a short case study describing a performance or behavioral issue (e.g., a team member missing project deadlines, a colleague dominating discussions). They work together to identify the Situation, Behavior, and potential Impact, formulating an SBI feedback statement.
Live Role-Play & Peer Coaching (25 min): Within their triads, participants take turns in three roles: Manager (giving feedback), Employee (receiving feedback), and Observer (providing meta-feedback on the delivery). Each participant will have a chance to practice giving SBI feedback, focusing on clarity and impact. The observer provides structured feedback using a simple checklist focused on SBI adherence and delivery.

Assessment (5 min)

Exit Ticket: Participants complete a short card noting one key insight gained about the SBI model and one specific situation in the coming week where they intend to apply it.
Observer Checklist: During role-play, observers use a basic checklist to note the application of SBI components, providing immediate, formative assessment.

Differentiated Instruction (5 min)

Visual Learners: Provide handouts with graphic organizers and visual aids illustrating the SBI model. Consider a short video example.
Auditory Learners: Encourage robust group discussion and Q&A sessions. Facilitate active listening during role-plays.
Kinesthetic Learners: Prioritize the role-playing and hands-on scenario work. Provide opportunities to physically write out feedback statements.
Advanced Learners: Offer optional, more complex scenarios for role-play, such as giving upward feedback or addressing deeply entrenched behaviors.

Homework (Optional)

"SBI Application Challenge": Participants are encouraged to deliver at least one piece of SBI feedback to a direct report or colleague within the next week. They can then reflect on the experience in a brief, optional journal entry.
Supplemental Resources: Provide links to curated articles or short videos on advanced feedback techniques or navigating challenging feedback conversations.

Under the hood

Why this prompt works

This workflow produces a structured lesson plan by employing several prompt engineering techniques. Role priming is foundational; by instructing the model to "Act as a seasoned Corporate Learning and Development Specialist," it adopts the appropriate persona and applies specialized knowledge, ensuring the output aligns with professional L&D standards and language, rather than generating a generic outline.

Explicit constraints are critical for shaping the output. The strict 90-minute duration and the mandatory lesson plan structure (Objective, Standard, Hook, etc.) directly guide the model to allocate time realistically and include all essential pedagogical components. This prevents the model from omitting crucial sections or exceeding the specified time, which is a common issue with less constrained prompts.

Furthermore, requiring a structured output with clearly defined sections ensures a comprehensive and usable lesson plan. Without this explicit structure, the model might produce a free-form narrative lacking the practical utility of a sectioned lesson plan. The inclusion of placeholders like {{feedback_model}} and {{company_culture_notes}} also instructs the model to integrate specific, user-provided context, resulting in a highly customized and relevant training document. This combination of role, constraints, and structure ensures a detailed, pedagogically sound, and immediately applicable lesson plan, far superior to a simple, unguided request.

Pro tips

1
Specify the feedback model clearly (e.g., 'Situation-Behavior-Impact (SBI)' or 'STAR') to ensure the direct instruction is focused and actionable.
2
Provide concrete, brief examples in `company_culture_notes`. This helps the AI tailor scenarios and tone, avoiding generic outputs.
3
Be explicit about the type of 'live practice' desired (e.g., 'role-playing in pairs,' 'small group simulations') to guide the activity design.
4
If the initial output feels too dense, instruct the model to suggest fewer sub-points per section in a follow-up iteration for better pacing.
5
Always review the generated time allocations. They are suggestions; adjust them mentally or in a follow-up prompt to fit your actual session flow.
6
Test the generated plan's flow with a colleague. This helps identify any areas that might feel rushed or lack depth before implementation.

Don't ship this

Common mistakes

✗ Providing a vague `{{feedback_model}}` input, resulting in generic or undefined instruction on feedback.
Fix — Input a well-known, specific feedback model by name, such as 'SBI feedback model' or 'DESC script for feedback'.
✗ Overloading `{{company_culture_notes}}` with too much information, diluting its impact on the plan's customization.
Fix — Focus on 2-3 key cultural aspects that directly influence how feedback is given or received within the organization.
✗ Not manually checking if the sum of suggested time allocations equals exactly 90 minutes, leading to an over or under-planned session.
Fix — Verify all time segments add up to 90 minutes. If not, refine the prompt to reallocate time or adjust segments.
✗ Expecting the output to include full activity instructions or detailed slide content for each section.
Fix — Understand this prompt generates a lesson *plan*. Use it as a structural guide, then build out the detailed content and activities separately.
✗ Neglecting to emphasize the 'learner-led' aspect, resulting in a plan that feels too lecture-heavy or passive.
Fix — Reinforce interactive methods in your prompt's `Context` or `Constraints` if the initial output lacks sufficient participant engagement.

Frequently asked questions

Q.Will this prompt generate the actual training materials like slides or handouts?

No, this prompt is designed to produce a structured lesson plan outline. It will provide section headings, objectives, and suggested activities with time allocations. You will need to develop the specific content and materials based on this plan.

Q.How specific should the `{{feedback_model}}` input be for best results?

Be as specific as possible. Naming a widely recognized model like 'Situation-Behavior-Impact (SBI)' or 'STAR' allows the AI to structure relevant instruction and practice. Avoid general terms like 'a feedback model'.
