Deeper Dialogues
Heading into a conversation you don't feel ready for?
Most of us were never taught how to have the ones that matter: the apology, the boundary, the bad news, the friend whose world has just come apart. Deeper Dialogues is for the hour before. Tell it what you're facing and it shows you what the other person most likely needs from you, why that is, and words you can actually use. Rehearse it with Chatty if you want a run-through first. And when there's more time, the modules teach the skills behind the words, drawn from research on how people really talk to each other rather than folk wisdom.
What do you need to say?
Describe it in your own words. Plain words work best.
