Difficult Conversations: Practice Lab (Live Rehearsal Session) - June 21

Difficult Conversations: Practice Lab (Live Rehearsal Session)
This session is focused on one thing: practicing real conversations before (or after) they happen.
If you have a conversation coming up that you’re unsure about (or one that didn’t go the way you wanted) this is a space to work through it in a structured, supportive environment.
What to expect:
This is a hands-on session with minimal theory.
1\. Quick Check\-In \(brief\)
We’ll start with a short reset and, if relevant, reflections from anyone who tried applying ideas from previous sessions.
2\. Real Situations \(focused\)
Participants can bring:
* an upcoming difficult conversation
* a recent interaction that didn’t go as expected
* something they’ve been avoiding
We’ll select a few situations to explore more deeply.
3\. Live Roleplay & Rehearsal \(core\)
We’ll actively practice conversations:
* try different approaches
* notice what changes
* repeat and refine
After each roleplay, we focus on:
* what was noticed
* where the interaction shifted
* what alternative responses might change the outcome
This is not about getting it “right.” It’s about experimenting and building awareness.
How this is different:
* This is a practice session, not a discussion group
* We work with real situations, not abstract advice
* We focus on patterns and responses, not critique
You don’t need to have attended any previous session to join.
If you’ve ever thought:
* “I need to have this conversation, but I don’t know how”
* “That didn’t go the way I expected”
* “I wish I could try that again differently”
This session is designed for exactly that.
