Write a Script for a Sensitive 1-1 Conversation

Act as a leadership communication and coaching specialist. I need to have a sensitive 1-1 conversation with [TEAM_MEMBER_DESCRIPTION] about [SENSITIVE_TOPIC] (e.g. performance concerns, personal issues affecting work, inappropriate behaviour, mental health). I want to approach this with both care and clarity. Write a conversation guide covering: how to create psychological safety before raising the topic, the specific language to use when introducing the issue, how to listen without solving prematurely, how to agree on a way forward together, and how to close in a way that leaves them feeling supported not judged.
