Hard Conversations Preparation Tool
Hard conversations can be scary. This tool helps you prepare one small step at a time — so you feel clearer and steadier before you speak.
Quick start
Tap the one that feels closest to where you are right now — it will pre-fill the tool to help you.
Goal of the conversation
What do you most want this conversation to achieve?
What I want to say
Keep it honest and as brief as you can. You do not need to share everything at once.
What I fear might happen
Naming fears reduces their power. Choose any that apply.
My boundary or request
Fill in both fields, then generate your boundary sentence.
Their possible response
Pick the scenario that feels most likely — this shapes the reply scripts in the next step.
My calm reply scripts
Choose a tone, then generate three reply options for your scenario.
A 30-second opening line
How you begin shapes the whole conversation. Generate options and choose the one that feels most like you.
Pause plan if emotions spike
Having a prepared pause plan means you are less likely to be derailed by a surge of emotion mid-conversation.
Role-play practice
Choose something the other person might say — get a grounded response and a follow-up question.
