# How can a ward manager use Empatyzer to address recurring tension with a staff member?

Describe the recurring behavior you can observe, its practical effect and what needs to change, then ask Em, the AI coach in Empatyzer, to help you prepare the conversation.

Em helps you separate facts from assumptions, anticipate how the staff member may receive the message and choose a clear opening. If that person is a member of the organization currently selected in Empatyzer, has completed the required part of the assessment and has not turned off advice about themselves, select them via the two-person icon so the advice reflects the differences between you; otherwise, describe their behavior or paste a message they wrote. The conversation stays on the work issue while taking your relationship into account.
