Practice defending your recommendation to a skeptical board

The board chair wants 30 minutes with you before the vote. Two directors doubt your numbers, and one is close to the leader who stands to lose the most. Most executives polish the slides — very few rehearse answering the hard questions out loud, directly, without retreating into generalities.

Don't tell us how you'd handle it. Practice it.

You: Chief Operating Officer recommending that three regional operations centers be consolidated into one — about $60M in projected savings, roughly 900 roles affected.

Them: The board chair, a former CFO — skeptical, not hostile, and pressing on every assumption.

What you'll practice

• Executive clarity
• Separating evidence from assumption
• Composure under scrutiny
• Adapting when new information lands

How it works

You hold the whole conversation with an AI playing the other side, who reacts to how you handle them. When it ends, you get an evidence-based debrief of what you did and what to do differently — then you can run it again.
