Ever walked out of a meeting knowing the real conversation was about to happen in the parking lot? That’s what happens when candor is missing, and I’ve been there too many times.
In this episode, I’m digging into what it really means to speak with candor and why it’s one of the hardest but most important skills for leaders. We’ll talk about the cost of avoiding honesty, why “I feel” is so much more powerful than “you are,” and how small shifts in the way we communicate can completely change the trust and engagement on our teams.
Speaking with candor isn’t about being brutally honest. It’s about being open, vulnerable, and willing to grow alongside your people. Let’s break it down together. 🔥
