The Practice Room

Rehearse the conversation you're dreading.

We all have a conversation we keep putting off. Here, you can try it first. Pick a situation that feels close to yours, talk it through with a stand-in for the other person who pushes back the way they might, and get a mediator's honest read on how it went.

Free, private, and yours to repeat. Just keep names and personal details general.


Choose from common hard conversations, or describe your own in a sentence or two.

A mediator's honest read: what you did well, what the conflict may be telling you, and what to try next time.
