High-Stakes Conversation Prep
Walk into the hard conversation prepared.
For conversations where the wrong words, tone, or timing could damage trust — prep with someone who has sat in the hot seat: 30 years of board-facing healthcare leadership.
Why prep
Some conversations should not be improvised.
Discipline, conflict, performance issues, board presentations, family-business tension, and employee exits require calm, clear preparation. We build the message, anticipate objections, rehearse responses, and clarify the outcome before you step into the room.
What’s included
One focused intensive.
- Conversation goal and stakes — what a good outcome actually looks like
- Message structure — the words, in order
- Objection planning — the hard questions, answered before they’re asked
- Tone and delivery coaching — firm without matching the energy
- Rehearsal — so the first time you say it isn’t live
Who it’s for
Managers and executives facing one specific, consequential conversation — a termination, a conflict that can’t keep drifting, a board presentation, a negotiation — who want to walk in steady instead of hoping.
It can also be the first step toward Silver Trumpet’s deeper work — ELOS or Calendar Calling — when the immediate conversation opens a bigger one.
Do not carry the hard call alone.
A short, honest prep conversation can save a lot of cleanup later.
