Practice

Digital, plus a live session on Blended

An AI simulation puts you in a culturally driven misunderstanding or disagreement and asks you to de-escalate and move toward resolution, without damaging the relationship or abandoning your position.

On Blended, this is also where your chosen live session sits. The three options are below.
