**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.

Payor & Provider Convergence: Building Agentic Ops on Microsoft Fabric

**Do you find it uncomfortable meeting new people? We've all been there.**
This is a simple, structured space to practice one thing:
getting comfortable talking to someone you’ve never met before.
No pressure. No performance. No expectations.
Just real conversations with real people.
\-\-\-
**What to expect**
We’ll keep things light and practical.
\* You’ll be paired with another participant in a breakout room
\* Each conversation lasts about 10 minutes
\* Then you’ll switch and meet someone new
By the end of the session, you’ll have spoken with several different people.
\-\-\-
**How it works**
The goal is not to impress or “get it right.”
It’s simply to:
\* get words out of your mouth
\* stay present in a conversation
\* get more comfortable starting and continuing interactions
If the conversation stalls, you’ll have a few simple prompts to help keep things moving - but feel free to let it flow naturally.
\-\-\-
**A quick note on boundaries**
This is a practice space for conversation skills, not a dating or networking event.
\* Keep interactions respectful and low-pressure
\* No need to share personal details or contact information
\* If a question or topic doesn’t feel right, simply steer the conversation elsewhere
\-\-\-
**Who this is for**
\* If you sometimes feel unsure how to start a conversation
\* If you find small talk awkward or draining
\* If you just want a low-stakes way to meet new people
You’re in the right place.
\-\-\-
Come as you are.
You don’t need to prepare anything. Just show up and be willing to try.

Talking to Strangers: Live Practice Session

\\# Overthinkers 'R' Us: Integration Lab
Ever walked away from a conversation and replayed it in your head for hours... or days?
*"I should've said..."*
*"Why did I respond like that?"*
*"I completely missed what they were trying to say."*
*"Next time, I'll..."*
If that sounds familiar, you're in good company.
This is a relaxed, supportive space for people who tend to reflect on conversations after they've happened. Instead of replaying them alone, we'll unpack them together.
Bring along **that conversation you've been replaying in your head**. It might be something that happened with a friend, a family member, a colleague, a neighbour, or even a complete stranger. It could be a conversation that went well but left you wondering why, or one that left you wishing you'd handled it differently.
Together we'll explore questions like:
\\\* What actually happened?
\\\* What assumptions was each person making?
\\\* Was there a misunderstanding?
\\\* What worked well?
\\\* What might you try differently next time?
Depending on the situation, we might simply discuss different approaches as a group, or we may roleplay parts of the conversation to explore other possibilities. There is never any pressure to roleplay—observing and contributing ideas is just as valuable.
\\#\\# What to expect
\\\* A welcoming, judgment-free environment
\\\* Real conversations from everyday life
\\\* Gentle discussion and reflection
\\\* Optional roleplay to explore different approaches
\\\* Insights from other participants who may see things you hadn't considered
This isn't about finding the "perfect" response.
It's about becoming a little more aware, a little more intentional, and a little more confident the next time a similar conversation comes along.
\\#\\# A quick note on boundaries
This is a conversation practice and reflection group—not therapy or counselling.
Please respect each other's privacy and experiences.
Share only what you're comfortable sharing, and remember that everyone's perspective is welcome.
\\#\\# Who this is for
\\\* If you regularly replay conversations in your head afterwards...
\\\* If you wish you'd thought of the perfect response ten minutes too late...
\\\* If you're curious about how other people interpret the same interaction...
\\\* If you'd like to become more thoughtful and confident in everyday conversations...
...you're in the right place.
Come as you are.
You don't need to prepare anything - although, if there's a conversation that's been living rent-free in your head, bring it along. We'll see what we can learn from it together.
