Based on the work of Kim Scott, author of Radical Candor, and Susan Scott, author of Fierce Conversations

This powerful webinar dives deep into the communication challenges that tie us up in mental knots and hold teams back from reaching their full potential.

Whether you're a CEO, middle manager, or first-time supervisor, you'll walk away with valuable insights to help you lead more effectively and foster a culture of trust, clarity, and performance.

In today’s workplace, communication styles differ drastically across generations, making alignment and retention harder than ever.
