Know your options
Walk into the hard conversation ready.
Part of the HR you own — a place to think through the hard conversation before you walk into it.
The raise, the pushback, the resignation — the talk you've rehearsed in the shower for weeks. Prep it here first, privately, on your side.
The problem
Most people wing their most important conversations
You rehearse the interview. You rehearse the demo. But the raise ask, the accommodation request, the talk with the manager who's been micromanaging you — you wing it and hope.
These are the conversations that move your pay, your title, your daily working life. They get less prep than a Tuesday standup. The room you walk into doesn't care that you meant to think it through.
You get a structured way to think it through before the room sees you.
How it works
How it works
- 1
Pick the conversation
Salary, feedback, leave, resignation, accommodation, promotion. Each has its own framework — pick the one that fits. - 2
Answer a few questions
What's the situation, what do you want out of it, what could go sideways. Three minutes of input shapes the whole prep sheet. - 3
Walk in with a plan
Key points, questions to ask, what to document, what to leave alone, and how to follow up. On one page.

Who this is for
Who this is for
Anyone negotiating compensation
Salary, title, scope, equity. Walk in with a plan, not a vibe.
Employees navigating difficult situations
PIPs, conflict, accommodations, concerns with the manager. The conversations that matter most are the ones nobody trains you for.
People planning career moves
Resignation talks, promotion asks, internal moves. Get the language right before you say it out loud.

Neither. It's a framework. You think through it here; you do the actual talking in the room.
Yes. Saved to your account, printable, exportable. Re-read it on the way into the meeting.
Prep isn't a script. It's knowing what you want, what you'll say, and what you won't. That clarity holds even when the conversation takes a turn.
Yes. Same frameworks, either side of the table. Structure helps the person delivering the news too.
