Valor: Difficult Conversations
What is Valor?
Practice difficult career conversations out loud with an AI counterpart who pushes back, then get a score and feedback.
Valor lets you rehearse workplace conversations by speaking with an AI counterpart who plays a specific colleague, such as a designer, a VP, or a manager. The counterparts respond with pushback and defensiveness, and when a call ends you receive a score, notes on what worked, and suggestions for next time. Counterparts share a company and remember how you handled past conversations.
Pricing. Valor is free to download, with in-app purchases on the App Store.

Description
Valor is where you practice the career conversations that matter before you have them for real.
You talk, out loud, with an AI counterpart who plays a specific colleague: the designer who steamrolls reviews, the VP who made the wrong call, the manager you need to ask for a raise. 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.
EIGHT SCENARIOS, THREE ARCS

- Clear the Air: Peer Conflict
Each scenario has three levels. Pass one and the counterpart gets harder.
A CAST THAT REMEMBERS
Every 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.

Before a real conversation, talk it through with your coach by voice or by chat. Bring the actual situation; get a plan, not platitudes.
