Develop skills to confidently navigate conversations where coworkers resist change and prefer the current situation.
Click the button below to start. Your AI interviewer will greet you and begin the conversation.
Speaking your pitch out loud reveals vague language, missing data points, and areas where you lack confidence before the real conversation.
Repetition reduces anxiety. Each practice session makes your delivery smoother and helps you stay composed when your boss pushes back.
The AI challenges weak arguments and highlights where you need more specifics. You'll enter the real negotiation with a tighter, more persuasive pitch.
Practice responding to common pushback like "budget constraints" or "it's not the right time" so you're not caught off guard.
Try to ask open-ended questions to encourage them to share their views. Listening can often lead to a more productive dialogue.
Use language that emphasizes collaboration and shared goals. Phrasing your suggestions as enhancements rather than criticisms helps maintain a positive tone.
Focus on presenting data or examples that illustrate potential benefits of change. Highlighting success stories from other teams can also be persuasive.
Stay calm, listen actively, and respond thoughtfully. Keeping your tone respectful and using 'I' statements can help reduce defensiveness.
