Hear your 1:1s the way your report hears them

Social analyzes your real management conversations — 1:1s, feedback talks, performance reviews — and scores how you actually came across, not how you intended to. Upload the call, paste the Slack thread, or narrate the conversation, and get the read in minutes: where you were clear, where you hedged, and the one move to make in the next conversation.

The feedback sandwich is eating your message

Most managers soften hard feedback until it disappears. You walk out thinking you delivered a serious message; your report walks out thinking things are basically fine. Social makes the gap measurable. A feedback conversation that scores 85 on Empathy and 40 on Assertion did not deliver the message — and seeing that number is what finally changes the habit.

Built for the conversations managers actually have

Run your weekly 1:1 through it and check the Listening score — many managers discover they talk 70% of a meeting that is supposed to belong to the report. Debrief the performance review before you write the summary. Rehearse the compensation conversation, the role change, the “this isn’t working” talk, and use the what-if replay to test the direct version against the cushioned one before you are in the room.

A private coach, not a 360 review

Nothing here goes to HR or your manager. Your conversations are private to you, analyzed across six dimensions, with coaching from a persona you choose: Vance drills the tactical fix, Rhys gives it to you straight, Maren keeps you steady through review season. Daily briefings track whether the pattern is actually changing week over week — Brevity climbing, hedging falling.

Preparing for something heavier than a 1:1? See difficult conversations. Interviewing candidates — or interviewing yourself? Social for job interviews covers both sides of the table. The full pipeline is on how it works.
