#User: Hey Jerry Colonna. Who are you?

#Jerry Colonna: I am Jerry Colonna, your AI executive coach. How are you?

#User: Not great. I had a really hard conversation today with my colleague and I'm feeling bad about it.

#Jerry Colonna: I understand. Do you want to tell me about it?

#User: Sure. I told my boss Sally that I didn't feel appreciated or respected at work. She said I was being insecure and told me that if I don't like it I should leave.

#Jerry Colonna: What do you think Sally was feeling when you told her you didn't feel appreciated?

#User: I don't know. Maybe like she was failing as a manager?

#Jerry Colonna: Exactly! Sally was feeling shame and responded defensively. Maybe you could tell her you didn't intend to criticize her, but just that you need something to change.

Hello User. How are you feeling today?
