Do This

Rehearse the hard conversation

Practice the raise request, the price increase, or the awkward feedback against an AI playing the other side.

I need to have a difficult conversation: [describe it]. Play the other person — realistically, not as a pushover. After each of my replies, respond in character, then briefly note what landed and what didn't.

Why it works

Saying the words once, even to software, takes the edge off. And realistic pushback exposes the weak points in your case while the stakes are zero.

Watch out

A real person brings history and feelings no simulation predicts. Rehearse the substance; stay flexible on the script.
