His first question: who said this?
HOW A SESSION WORKS
Four steps. About twenty minutes.
- 1°
Read the brief
The context, your role, and who you’re about to meet. No framework recap.
- 2°
Have the conversation
The other person pushes back, holds things back, and reacts to how you actually behave.
- 3°
Get the coaching debrief
What you did, what it cost you, and the specific move to change next time.
- 4°
Keep the evidence
Transcripts and cohort patterns your programme can actually show a sponsor.
BEFORE YOU START
Two things people ask.
Who am I in this conversation?
You're the HR Business Partner Associate at Kestrel Analytics. Rohan Vashisht leads client delivery and wants to know the source of a formal complaint. You get the full brief after you sign in.
Do I need HR experience to practise this?
No. The brief has complaint context and confidentiality limits. You're practising a difficult conversation when the subject demands names you can't give.
