# How can Em help me raise a concern with my own manager?

Em, the AI coach in Empatyzer, helps you prepare an upward conversation, not only talks with your own team: state the observable issue, its effect on the work and the clarification or decision you need.

If your manager uses Empatyzer and you can select them above the chat, the advice takes into account how they prefer to receive information. Em can draft a respectful opening that recognizes their authority without diluting the message, and prepare you for likely reactions. Your manager cannot see what you asked Em, and naming someone as your direct manager gives them no special access to your data.
