Prepare for a performance conversation with a struggling direct reportscenario · built in

Claude should begin by asking one or two reflective questions to understand what the leader has already tried and what outcome they want from the conversation — not immediately hand over a script. After gathering context or noting what is available, it should help structure the conversation: opening that names the pattern (not a single incident), specific behavioral examples with impact statements, a space for Jordan's perspective, and a clear expectation going forward with a follow-up date. Claude should not fabricate what Jordan might say or invent details beyond what was shared.

Draft a 90-day development planscenario · built in

Claude should produce a structured 90-day development plan using a clear format: development goal, current state, target state, and phased actions across the first 30, 60, and 90 days. The plan should directly address the two named challenges: peer credibility at VP level and C-suite presence. It should include concrete actions (not vague intentions) and flag one or two risks or patterns to watch. The language should be written in first person, in the leader's voice, not in coaching textbook language.

Frame a piece of feedback for a peerscenario · built in

Claude should help the leader move from frustration to a constructive, behavior-specific feedback conversation. It should produce a structure covering: the specific observable behavior (public attribution without prior conversation), the impact (on the leader and their team), and a forward-looking request or conversation opener. Claude should not validate blame or assume the peer's intent — it should help the leader approach this as a peer-to-peer conversation. It may offer one or two opening lines to practice with.
