Elevate Your Praise with the SBI Formula for Impactful Feedback

If “Nice work!” is your go-to praise, it’s time for an upgrade.

Vague compliments are the junk food of feedback—tasty in the moment, zero staying power.

Try the SBI Formula instead:

📍 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – When/where it happened

🎯 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 – What the person actually did

💥 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 – Why it mattered

Example:

✅ “During Tuesday’s kickoff (S), you jumped in with a clear summary when things got off track (B), which refocused the team and saved us 20 minutes (I).”

That’s not just a compliment—it’s a confidence builder.

The best recognition doesn’t just make people feel good.

It helps them repeat what worked.
