Lesson 3 • Navigating Difficult Conversations

High-stakes conversations are approached with preparation, empathy, and assertiveness. Students role-play scenarios to build real-world readiness.

Lesson 4 • Setting and Communicating Boundaries

Healthy boundaries are defined, and scripts for communicating them are practiced. Students apply boundary-setting in professional and personal scenarios.
