Why leadership can sometimes be so exhausting
These situations drain energy, rob sleep, and make the job harder than it needs to be:
Rehearse the conversation in your mind.
You lie awake at night, contemplating what you could say. And what the other person might respond. And what you would then say. An endless loop that gets you nowhere.
Fear of emotional reactions
What if she cries? What if he gets loud? What if the mood becomes completely toxic afterward? The uncertainty makes the conversation in your mind worse than it needs to be.
Having no one to practice with
Talking to colleagues about a difficult employee? Unprofessional. Asking the boss? Shows weakness. So you go in unprepared – and hope for the best.
The last conversation did not go well.
You wanted to be constructive, but the atmosphere ended up worse than before. Now you're wondering: Was it the content or the way you delivered it?
Every conversation feels like the first time.
Critique session with the senior developer, feedback round with the new colleague, conflict between two team members – each situation is unique, and you start from scratch every time.
The seminar was months ago.
In the workshop, everything sounded logical: active listening, "I" messages, sandwich feedback. But now, when you need it, it’s all gone. Theory without practice fades away.
This is how your training works
In three steps to greater security in challenging conversations.
Choose your scenario
Critique discussions, conflict resolution, feedback sessions, salary negotiations – choose from over 50 scenarios or describe your specific situation. The AI adapts accordingly.
Lead the conversation
Talk to an AI character that responds realistically. It gets emotional, shuts down, and makes excuses – just like real employees. You practice under realistic conditions.
Learn from feedback
After each conversation, you will receive a detailed analysis: what went well, what you can improve, and specific phrasing suggestions. No evaluations from others—just you and the AI.
What you gain
More than just better conversations – a noticeable improvement in your quality of life at work.
Confidence in challenging moments
When you know you've practiced the conversation ten times, you enter differently. More calmly. More clearly. More confidently. Your counterpart can sense that too.
- No more sleepless nights before difficult conversations.
- Calmness even in emotional reactions.
- Safety through routine instead of relying on luck.
Better relationships with your team
Effective communication means your employees feel heard, even when the message is uncomfortable. This fosters trust and respect.
- Delivering criticism in a way that resonates.
- Resolve conflicts instead of suppressing them.
- Maintaining trust even in challenging times
Less stress, more energy
The fear of difficult conversations is an energy drain. When you know you can handle them, you free your mind for what truly matters.
- No longer postpone conversations for weeks.
- Stop the thought carousel
- After-work is truly after-work.

- Proper invoice with itemized VAT.

- Ask HR about your budget.
