--:--

Jeremy Utley (Director of Exec Ed, Stanford d.school) shares a fast, repeatable prep for high-stakes conversations:

Role-play the conversation via voice with an AI.

Get a transcript and have a second AI critique using a framework (e.g., Radical Candor).

Stress-test with a third AI playing an adversarial persona (“bad day,” defensive, etc.).
Outcome: calmer delivery, clearer language, and HR-level praise—without extra meetings or coaching.
