60-Minute Radical Candor Skills Lab
Managers avoid giving tough feedback. Build the muscle for honest
About this session
Managers often rely on vague praise or total silence to avoid the discomfort of a difficult conversation, which leaves performance issues unaddressed. This session moves beyond the theory of Radical Candor by putting participants into timed practice rounds where they must deliver direct, caring feedback on actual workplace scenarios.
Why it works
The session works by stripping away the abstract lecture and forcing immediate, low-stakes verbal practice. This repetitive drilling reduces the anxiety associated with confrontation and helps participants find the specific language needed to be both clear and supportive under pressure.
What you’ll walk away with
