Real Talk Studio

Who we are

The conversations that define your business don't happen in a classroom. A harassment disclosure. A whistleblower testing the water. A performance conversation that could end in tribunal.

Real Talk Studio builds AI simulations that let your people rehearse those moments before they happen for real — live, unscripted, under pressure. Founded by Toby Sinclair, who learned on J.P. Morgan's trading floor what happens when high-stakes conversations go wrong.

ISO 27001 · ISO 9001 · ISO 42001 certified.

What we do

Your people talk to AI avatars that push back, get emotional, and don't follow the script — just like real life. A team member disclosing harassment. An underperformer with an undisclosed disability. A customer in crisis.

No facilitator. No scheduling. No app. Just a link, a browser, and a conversation they can't click "Next" through.

Every session is scored, timestamped, pass/fail. So when someone asks "can your managers actually handle this?" — you don't point to a completion certificate. You show them the evidence.

Training proves attendance. We prove readiness. And when "all reasonable steps" gets tested in a tribunal, readiness is the defence that holds.

Build a scenario in minutes. Run 50 people through it simultaneously. Watch the data live.

What we've done

Trusted by regulated enterprises including Centrient Pharmaceuticals, OVO Energy, Mews, MiQ and Molton Brown.

Centrient replaced tick-box compliance training with scored behavioural evidence across a global workforce.

OVO Energy prepares frontline teams for vulnerable customer conversations under Consumer Duty.

MiQ managers completed 2× the practice reps of conventional programmes.

From first call to live practice in under two weeks.

Your people will face these conversations. The only question is whether they've practised first.
