The Problem

Managers Struggle with Conversations — Not Because They Don't Care, But Because They're Not Prepared

Winging It with No Prep

You know you need to have a tough conversation, but you step in without a framework or plan. The result: rambling, emotional reactions, and conversations you regret.

Generic Advice That Doesn't Know Your Team

You Google the problem or paste it into ChatGPT and get generic advice that ignores your team member's personality, communication style, and history. It's one-size-fits-all — and it doesn't fit.

No Way to Practice

You can't rehearse the conversation. You can't prepare for pushback. You walk in cold and hope for the best.
