Practice Tools
Interactive tools to practise and master conversation skills across every relationship context. From core communication fundamentals to specialised relationship packs.
Active Listening Lab
Practise listening so people feel heard
Four short exercises: listen without planning your reply, choose the response that shows you heard the feeling, find your go-to way of refocusing, and stay present when it's hard to hear.
Question Architecture Builder
Plan questions that take a conversation deeper
Build a short ladder of questions that starts easy and goes a little deeper each time, or borrow ready-made ones for a date, a family dinner or after a disagreement. Save the keepers to your own library.
Emotional Intelligence Navigator
Get emotionally ready for a conversation that matters
Check in with how you feel and what you need, think about how the other person may be feeling, then get a one-page game plan: how to settle yourself, how to pitch it and what you can say.
Difficult Conversation Planner
Plan the conversation you've been putting off
Work through the BRIDGE method from the Difficult Conversations module (Begin, Relate, Inquire, Dialogue, Generate, End) and leave with a conversation map: four lines to take into the room, drawn from the "What to say" page that fits. With a partner it asks how bad it has got and plans the repair; at work it asks what kind of conversation it is and whether it could become a formal matter.
NVC Practice Studio
Say it without blame
Practise turning a judgemental thought into a four-part Nonviolent Communication statement, then check it against a worked example.
Cultural Communication Adapter
Plan for different conversational rules
Plan a conversation with someone who grew up with different conversational rules, based on what you've noticed about them rather than assumptions about their country.
Money Conversation Planner
Plan one money conversation, with the words you'll say
With your partner, your family, a friend, a client or supplier, or in a money crisis. Pick the conversation and the tool brings the framework the Money Pack module teaches for it, lines to borrow from the matching What to say page, your limits or who to tell, and a one-screen map to take into the room.
Money Values Assessment
What money means to you, in 12 questions
A quick self-reflection on how you feel about, spend and share money. Find out whether you lean Saver, Spender, Avoider or Monitor, with tips for money conversations that suit your style.
Friendship Planner
Someone new, a friend to get closer to, a falling-out, or one you don't want to lose
One friendship conversation, planned from the matching What to say page: an invitation for someone you would like to know better, a gap that picks the approach for a friend you would like to be closer to, both sides and a plan B for a falling-out, or a rhythm you can keep for a friend who is drifting.
Health Conversation Navigator
Plan a caring talk about someone's health
Plan what to say to someone facing a diagnosis, illness, mental health struggle or recovery, and how you'll keep supporting them without taking over.
Grief Support Companion
Be there for someone who's grieving
Plan your first message, specific offers of help and steady check-ins for someone facing a death or another loss, including the months when others drift away.
Someone You Care About Is in Trouble
Danger first, then the words, then help for them and for you
Worried about suicide, abuse, someone's drinking or drugs, a relapse, a mental health struggle, or a crisis? Is anyone in danger now, the words from the matching What to say page with their reasons, an honest look at your own role and limits, and crisis lines and services for them and for you.
Dating Conversation Builder
Plan what to talk about on a date
Prepare topics and questions that suit your stage of dating, plus what to say at the opening, in a lull and at goodbye.
Long-Term Love Planner
Stay close for the long haul
The rituals that keep a long relationship alive, a check-in rhythm, and one small habit to turn towards each other this week, on the module's own material: love maps, bids, the solvable and the perpetual. Half the typing it used to ask for.
Family Planner
Your child, your parents, siblings, the wider family, the generations
One family conversation, or a rhythm for staying close. Tap who it is about and every idea fits their age and your place in it: what gets in the way, what you hope for, the ways to connect, a rhythm you can keep, and for a conversation the words and a one-screen map from the matching What to say page.
Working Relationship Planner
One working relationship, in ten minutes
Name the person, tap what gets in the way and get a concrete move for it, pick two starter habits, and for a particular moment (criticism, a mistake, being talked over, a line crossed, a disagreement) get the words from the matching page and a map.
Leadership Communication Developer
Plan the leadership conversation you need to have
Choose one conversation, such as setting direction, coaching someone, talking after a mistake or giving hard feedback, and draft it step by step with the VISION, INQUIRY or SAFETY framework.
Career Advancement Communicator
Plan the career conversation you keep putting off
Pick one conversation, such as asking for a promotion or a pay rise, and draft it with the ADVOCATE or VALUE framework: your opening, your ask, answers to pushback and what to do if the answer is no.
