# I was promoted from the team. How can Em help me set boundaries with former peers?

Em, the AI coach in Empatyzer, can help you prepare a concrete conversation about what has changed in your responsibilities and what has not changed in your respect for former colleagues.

Ask Em about the first situations where the change shows, for example assigning work at the start of a shift, giving feedback to a former colleague or responding to an expectation of special treatment. Em can help you decide what stays the same in the relationships, what changes in your responsibility and how to respond to different reactions without becoming artificially distant.
