They push back, get defensive, change the subject, the way real people do. When the call ends, you get a score, what worked, and what to fix next time.\n\nEIGHT SCENARIOS, THREE ARCS\n- Your Team: Give Hard Feedback, The Underperformer, Delegate It, The Tough 1:1\n- Up and Across: Say No, Push Back, The Raise\n- Clear the Air: Peer Conflict\nEach scenario has three levels. Pass one and the counterpart gets harder.\n\nA CAST THAT REMEMBERS\nEvery counterpart works at the same company and they talk to each other. Handle a conversation badly and that person trusts you less; others hear about it. Repair scenarios appear when a relationship needs mending. Your standing with each of them is visible at all times.\n\nAN AI CAREER COACH\nBefore a real conversation, talk it through with your coach by voice or by chat. Bring the actual situation; get a plan, not platitudes.\n\nBUILT FOR MANAGERS AND PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BECOME ONE\nNew managers, senior ICs, anyone who has a hard talk coming and would rather rehearse it than wing it.\n\nFREE TO START\nOne scenario and 10 voice minutes a month, free. Valor Pro unlocks every scenario, 90 voice minutes a month, the AI coach by voice and chat, and your full score history.\n\nValor Pro is $6.99 per month or $39.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
