DIRECT IS KIND, So Stop Trying to be "Nice." Embrace Clarity, Honesty, Transparency and Vulnerability in Relationships

Send us Fan MailBuckle up... this is a great episode for anyone who struggles to be direct OR who is often finding their directness isn't landing well with others...In my first ever corporate sales job, I found myself being VERY direct with the VP of Sales and well, it was a pivotal moment that showed me who I want to be, and the kind of work environment I would not tolerate. In a lot of ways, this experience captures so much of what I see as problematic within the corporate world today.  And - it has continued to inspire me, and teach me so many valuable lessons which I am grateful to be able to share with you. In this episode I explore the transformative power of direct communication and the kindness it embodies. Misconceptions surrounding directness as aggression are debunked as we uncover its true value in fostering trust and clarity in relationships, both professional and personal. By embracing directness as an act of kindness, I've learned to navigate conflicts, cultivate trust, and enhance communication effectiveness. Join me on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment as we unravel the mantra that "direct is kind" and explore the profound impact of embracing authenticity and clarity in our interactions.Masterful Listening is sponsored by Rad Hats For Rad Humans. 30% of every purchase goes towards mental health initiatives.
