Practice real situations with a custom persona – so when the moment comes, you're ready.
The Problem
You replay it, rewrite it, imagine every possible reaction. Then the real moment comes, emotions kick in, and the conversation goes somewhere completely different.
The problem isn't that you don't care. It's that you never had a place to practice.
"The problem isn't that you don't care. It's that you never had a place to practice."
The Process
Tell Dryrun who you're talking to and how they communicate. Defensive? Avoidant? Aggressive? Calm? The persona adapts.
Give Dryrun the context. What has happened so far? Why is this significant? How high is the tension?
Have the actual conversation with real-time guidance coaching you as you go. Instant feedback when it's done. Go again until you feel ready.
