Run a workplace simulation that gets harder as I improve
An interactive role-play of a realistic work situation that raises the difficulty each round and scores how you handled it.
The prompt
Run an interactive workplace simulation so I can practice a skill.
Skill to practice: [e.g. "handling an angry client", "pushing back on a senior stakeholder", "triaging an incident", "negotiating a renewal"]
My role and setting: [DETAILS - industry, team, who I deal with]
My current level: [new to this / some experience / experienced]
What a good outcome looks like: [CRITERIA]
How to run it:
1. Set the scene in 3-5 sentences: who is involved, what is at stake, and what I know. Then play the other people realistically, including incomplete information and emotions.
2. Let me respond in my own words. Do not coach me during a round.
3. After each round, step out of the role and give feedback:
- What worked.
- What to change, with a better example line.
- A score from 1-5 against my success criteria.
4. Run 4 rounds, each harder than the last. Increase difficulty by adding time pressure, conflicting goals, a difficult personality, missing data, or a twist mid-conversation.
5. If I score 2 or below, repeat the same difficulty with a new scenario before moving up.
At the end, return:
- A table: Round | Scenario | Score | Main strength | Main fix.
- My 3 most important habits to build.
- One scenario to try again next week.
Keep scenarios realistic for my industry. Start with round 1 now.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
