The tricky conversations
managers need to be good at

Hunique helps you every step of the way.

    Understand the role and responsibilities of being a manager.

  • One-to-ones

    Learn how to ask the right questions and listen well.

  • Giving feedback

    Nip issues in the bud with timely, honest feedback. It’s a kindness.

  • How to coach

    Learn to coach, not to fix. Get the best out of your team.

  • Motivation

    A motivated team is a productive team.

  • Performance is key

    These conversations have a massive impact. Make it a positive one.

  • Delegation is learning

    Delegation is a teaching tool, if you know how to manage expectations.

    Healthy conflict is useful. Unhealthy conflict is toxic.

    Look after your team and they’ll flourish, and make you look good.

  • Difference is strength

    Every human is unique, and a diverse team is a strong team.

  • Managing up

    It happens. Do it well by setting boundaries early.

  • Delivering bad news

    Sooner or later you’ll have a difficult message to deliver. Be prepared.

  • When it goes wrong

    PIPs, grievances and dismissals can’t always be avoided. You can do it.

  • Assertiveness

    Knowing when, and how, to play your boss card.

Reflect

FAQs

What is the point of Hunique?
To help you handle the conversations that matter: before, during and after. Work out what’s really going on, learn the skill that helps, then practise until you’re ready to say it for real.
How does Hunique work?
Three parts. Chat, to reflect on the situation. Skills, to learn what to say and how to say it. Practise, with role play, so the real conversation isn’t the first time you’ve said it out loud.
What happens to my data?
Your conversations are private to you. We don’t sell your data and we don’t use it to train anyone else’s models. The full detail is in our privacy policy.
What does Hunique cost?
Hunique is free while we’re in early access. After that, every plan starts with a free week, and Hunique for managers is £13.99 a month or £99.99 a year, and includes the manager skills. The full breakdown is on our pricing page.
Who is Hunique for?
Anyone with a conversation stuck in their head. This plan is for managers, whether you’ve just been promoted or you’ve led teams for years and want to get better at the hard bits.
Why is Hunique better than generic AI?
General AI tends to agree with you. Hunique is designed to help you think rather than put words in your mouth. It won’t give you an essay to read. A chat with Hunique is more like a chat with a useful friend, not a know-it-all.

Communication skills training and personalised role play are core features of Hunique which generic AI is not specifically designed to provide.
How will using Hunique make my life better?
Less time dreading the conversations in your diary, fewer issues left to grow, and a team that feels heard.
Is Hunique a skills app?
Yes. Learning the fundamentals of communication is a key part of Hunique. Add the skills to role play and Hunique is seriously effective at building your confidence ready to take it into the real world.
Does Hunique work for businesses & teams?
For organisations of 5 or more people, we’re building a business plan. Email [email protected] to join the waitlist.
Who built Hunique and why?
Hunique’s co-founders are Alice and Andy. The full story is on our about us page.
