Hard Conversations

Your leaders rehearse the hard conversation before they have it.

A rehearsal space for the conversations leaders avoid: feedback to a top performer, a missed promotion, pushing back on their boss. The other person reacts like a real one, and every rehearsal lands in your dashboard.

The problem

The conversation happens between your sessions.

You prepare a leader for a hard conversation, then they walk into it alone. Whether they hold the line or soften it into nothing happens where you can't see it.

Rehearsing once in a session helps. Rehearsing until it's steady takes more of your time than either of you has.

What your leaders get

A practice partner that knows your method, available every day.

Someone who pushes back

The other person gets defensive, goes quiet or deflects, the way real people do.

What they were really feeling

The debrief shows what was going on underneath, and the moment your leader missed it.

Scored on your model

Clarity, composure, empathy, holding the line, or the framework you already use.

They can speak their replies out loud or type them.

FAQ

Questions coaches ask first.

Will my clients share sensitive situations in it?

They can use real situations or close versions of them. How client data is stored and who can see it is set up with you during the build.

Does it replace me?

No. It's practice between your sessions. You see every conversation, so your time goes on the coaching, not on running drills.

Is the demo the real thing?

The demo is scripted, so it plays the same way for everyone. Your build responds to what your leaders actually say.

Can I add scenarios later?

Yes. New scenarios, changes and ongoing support are what the optional monthly retainer covers.

What does the $5,000 include?

The full 4-week build, your leaders' app and your dashboard in your branding, and 30 days of onboarding and support after launch.
