Do you simulate important conversations before they happen?
by•
I recently came across a post on X saying that "if you're strong at execution but struggling to level up as a leader, you may not be simulating before communicating".
This caught my attention as I do simulate a lot of important conversations before they happen. I've recently used LLMs and interview coaching tools, and even vibe-coded my own tool to act as an AI coach. But my main issue is that every time I use any of these, I have to start over and rebuild the context of what matters and what not, and run into the same frictions again. That in addition to constantly tuning the often sloppy AI advice.
I'm curious if others do this too.. and if you do, has AI actually worked for you?

For interviews, yes. For personal conversations, I'm still not sure I'd trust AI with that.
I simulate tough conversations mentally, but AI tools forget everything between sessions. What if you kept one persistent profile per person you talk to often?
I usually know what i want to say, but I struggle with how to say it without sounding defensive.
I’ve been using AI for this quite a bit. It’s particularly useful for pulling together information scattered across docs, notes and previous messages, and helping me spot the patterns and insights I might have missed.
I use that as a starting point to form my own position before an important conversation. It’s less about asking AI what to say and more about getting the context organized before I walk into the conversation.
