Store description excerpt

You get one shot at the real conversation. Have it here first. Composura is a rehearsal room for the three conversations new managers dread: telling someone their work isn't landing, saying no to someone more senior, and telling a person they didn't get the promotion. You type what you would actually say. Someone pushes back the way they actually will. Then you get graded. THE SCORECARD IS THE POINT Most practice apps hand you a transcript and a compliment. Composura hands you a verdict, and it quotes you to justify it. Every rehearsal ends on four axes: 01 Named the behavior, not the person "You've missed three deadlines" lands. "You're unreliable" starts a fight. 02 Held the position under pressure When they pushed back, did you stay put or did you soften it away? 03 Got to the point How many turns went by before the real message arrived? 04 Left them with a path Did they leave with a concrete next step, or just criticism? Each axis is scored, backed by a line you actually wrote, and paired with one specific thing to change next time. No generic praise. No "be more assertive." CHOOSE HOW HARD THEY MAKE IT The difficulty is the person across the table, not the app. Receptive — engages in good faith, mild pushback. Defensive — deflects, makes excuses, redirects blame. Hostile — questions whether you should be having this conversation at all. Run the same situation three ways and watch which version of you survives. THREE SITUATIONS, WRITTEN LIKE REAL ONES • Critical feedback to a defensive report. Three missed sprints. He's capable, he knows it, and he doesn't think it's his fault. • Saying no to a senior stakeholder. A VP wants your team to absorb one more thing before quarter end. You have no room and she is used to hearing yes. • Telling someone they didn't get the promotion. She expected it. She was told she was close. She didn't get it. Each one opens with a briefing: the history, the stakes, and what a good outcome would actually look like. Pick your field — software, healthcare, retail, education, finance — and the same three rehearsals are rewritten in the vocabulary you actually use. BUILT TO FEEL LIKE PRESSURE, NOT LIKE A CHAT APP Replies arrive after a pause, the way a real answer does. A turn counter runs down in front of you. It's five minutes, not a course — the right length for the gap before a 1:1 you're nervous about. No account. No sign-up. Your rehearsals are stored on your device. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: the first situation, the Receptive counterpart, three rehearsals a month, and the first scorecard axis on every one of them. Composura Premium unlocks all three situations, all three counterparts, unlimited rehearsals, the full four-axis scorecard, and your complete history so you can see whether you're actually getting better. $6.99 per month • $39.99 per year WHO IT'S FOR New and first-time managers. Team leads who got promoted for their technical work
