SBI Model Feedback Tool

The purpose of the SBI model is to explore intent vs impact, and allow clear communication of a Situation, Behaviour and Impact.

As this gap between intent and impact is a common blind spot, providing feedback that highlights the outcomes (intended or unintended) allows for reflection and strategies for behaviour change.

Communicating with Impact

The way we communicate has been the challenge of leaders for years – decades, even – and, just when we think we have a good thing going, our audience changes, a crisis hits, the modality shifts, or the messaging is thrown up into the air.

Get the basics of impactful communication right with this tool.

 

Emotionally Intelligent Decisions

Not only does this tool help you to make decisions, but it also ensures you make them with feeling and meaningful impact.

You can use the Emotions Wheel within the tool, or if you own an Emotional Culture Deck, grab your cards and have a play.

SOAR Analysis

The SOAR Analysis is a positive, action-oriented and forward-thinking strategic planning tool that dives into the Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations and Results of your organisation.

Use this tool to analyse your organisation’s current abilities and your people’s ideas for the future to develop an adaptable, responsive structure for deliverable results.

 

The Qualities of a Great People Partner

Personal SWOT Analysis

The SWOT is a tool to assist with planning your career – it provides an opportunity to ask some tough questions, and really reflect on the opportunities you have that you may not already realise.

This tool can also be utilised by leaders wanting to have development conversations with their people.

Leadership Narrative Workbook

Leadership development is a journey of deep work into the tendencies that inform how they show up as a leader. For some individuals taking those first steps, it’s often tricky to identify, hard to define, and difficult to access.

I developed this Leadership Narrative Workbook as a tool for those curious leaders ready to get started today.

 

STEEPLE Analysis

Scan the external environment (Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental, Political, Legal and Ethical) of your orgnisation in order to develop strategic thinking around any new opportunities as well as future potential threats.

Pair with a SWOT analysis, focusing on your organisation’s internal environment, to develop a comprehensive environmental overview.
