You
I've noticed some tension in the last few stand-ups. Can you help me understand what's going on from your side?
Drew
Honestly? The last sprint retro felt like a blame session. I pushed back because nobody else would.
Coach
Good open — you named what you observed without labeling it, which gave Drew room to share their perspective instead of shutting down.
