Description

Being kind isn't the problem, but being too nice at work is. Learn how to use "kind candour" to grow your influence and credibility. If this feels familiar, book a call with my team and learn how I can support your leadership development.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • Why over-functioning and saying yes to everything keeps you stuck in support roles
  • The "kind candour" framework for giving feedback that lands without damaging relationships
  • How to set boundaries and push back professionally while still being seen as collaborative
  • Why avoiding difficult conversations actually hurts your leadership credibility
  • Practical scripts for challenging ideas and giving constructive feedback
