THE PROBLEM

Managers don’t get trained for real conversations.

They get promoted… and then thrown into conflict, emotions, performance issues, and HR landmines.

Most struggle with:

  • Fear of saying the wrong thing

  • Avoiding conversations until they blow up

  • Not knowing how to respond in the moment

  • Emotional employees

  • Inconsistent communication

  • Stress, anxiety, or overwhelm

And those struggles cost companies:

  • Turnover

  • Engagement

  • Productivity

  • Culture

  • Legal risk

Things can get awkward or go sideways quickly. Convara fixes the gap no training program has touched… until now.

What is Convara?

Convara is a conversation practice room for managers.

It lets leaders rehearse real workplace conversations with:

  • realistic employee emotions

  • behavior-based coaching

  • tons of scenario variety

  • clear guardrails for compliance

It’s not a content library.
It’s not an HR chatbot.
It’s not scripts.

It’s practice — the missing piece of leadership development.

Why Convara Works

Because, as the old adage says, practice makes perfect.

Managers learn by doing.
But in the real world, one wrong conversation causes damage.

Convara bridges the gap:

  • Safe practice

  • Realistic emotions

  • Structured prompts

  • Predictable outcomes

  • Skill-building through repetition

When managers practice, managers get better.

“I can’t tell you how many times a leader has stopped me and said, ‘Can you say that again so I can write it down?’ Leaders don’t struggle because they don’t care — they struggle because they don’t have the words when it matters. Convara gives them a place to practice.
