* 38% tone of voice
* 55% body language
* “Your words are useless” :joy:

**The SBI Framework**: a framework to organise your feedback

* **Situation** - Describe the situation you observed
* **Behaviour** - Describe the person’s behaviour 
* **Impact** - Describe the impact of their behaviour, then
