# I now manage colleagues I still work alongside clinically. How can Em help?

Em, the AI coach in Empatyzer, helps you prepare conversations where your clinical and managerial roles pull in different directions, for example giving feedback, explaining a decision or setting a boundary with someone who used to be only a peer.

Em helps you acknowledge the shared history without pretending the clinical relationship has disappeared, make your managerial responsibility clear and choose words that fit the particular colleague and situation. The conversation about yourself, opened with the one-person icon, also helps you understand your own reactions to the new role. Micro-lessons released twice a week keep building these skills over the following months.
