Show HN: Free Online Course – Debugging Difficult Conversations As an engineer I get frustrated at other training courses that talk a lot of theory, but don't have a lot of practical advice and tools to actually help.

I like to make my training courses more "algorithmic." A process you can follow to approach a Difficult Conversation, get in the right mindset to tackle it, and prepare what you need to that allows you to do it well.
