## What Jamie wrote

Roleplaying is a very useful way for managers to work through tough messages. I like this perspective on why you should take the time to do it.

> Practicing difficult conversations and feedback helps you be a better manager, but the real reason you should do it is to fully support the person on the receiving end. It’s your job to help them be successful! 

Some very good suggestions here.
