What Oswalo is
Oswalo is a mobile app for iOS (iPhone).
Oswalo lets a person rehearse one difficult conversation out loud before they have it in real life.
During a rehearsal, Oswalo voices the other side of the conversation and responds in real time.
The other side pushes back realistically instead of simply agreeing, so the person practices the hard part of the conversation rather than an easy version of it.
The person can rewind to the exact moment a conversation turned and try a different approach.
The person can also take the other side's role and answer as the person across from them.
What Oswalo does not do
Oswalo does not score, rate, or grade the person.
Oswalo does not give feedback or a verdict on how the person did.
Oswalo is not therapy and is not a substitute for therapy.
Oswalo is not a coach and is not a communication course.
Oswalo does not build a profile of how a person speaks.
Who it is for
Oswalo is for anyone facing a specific conversation they are dreading.
Common situations include giving difficult feedback, setting a boundary at work, asking for a raise, delivering an unwelcome decision, and managing someone who used to be a peer.
The other side in a rehearsal is described by role — a manager, a former peer, a senior leader — not by a personal name.
