When I first heard Kim's presentation of Radical Candor, I was blown away. In a nicely compact 2x2 with just eight words, she perfectly summarized what I had known my whole career but just didn't have the right way to say it. To me, Radical Candor was business poetry. Success in business completely depends on having hard conversations and exposing the truth about what needs to happen in your organization. We all know how difficult those conversations can be, and they are less effective if your team can't hear the message. Radical candor is about combining a desire to push the organization and achieve the vision while communicating in a way that lets your team know you care personally about them. I am so pleased when I hear an employee start a conversation, In the vein of radical candor…, as I know we will be speaking the truth and on a path to accomplishing great things. | Christa Quarles, CEO | Open Table | https://placid-fra.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/production/rest-images/zqiq8n9efryrq/airtable-5059a20a06b1a37fbe8e1a9bde5fa460-l7vvmqwg.png

I cannot thank you enough for your fantastic presentation at our annual Women in Residential Construction conference... It was every bit as wonderful as I hoped it would be, and more. Giving and receiving feedback is such an important topic, especially for women, and you made your suggestions about it so relatable to our lives and work that we couldn't help but know how to get better at it in the future. We have already received incredible feedback on it from our attendees! | | SGC Horizon | https://placid-fra.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/production/rest-images/zqiq8n9efryrq/airtable-99f508603661433ea91832693fed80c0-ygcerq1v.png
