Truth, Kindness, and the Gap Between
from More In Common · host More In Common Podcast
Are you telling the truth for them — or for you? This week Keith and Gerren get into the three gates of honesty — is it true, is it kind, is it necessary — and why the gap between them is where most hard conversations go wrong. They revisit Jen Oliver's framework from earlier this season, get into Keith's hiring story, and work through what it actually looks like when radical honesty stops being honest and starts being a weapon. Gerren's close: check your motives. Keith's close: is it for you or for them? Neither of them settled it. They never do. Key Topics: The three gates of honesty, the kindness performance trap, truth as a weapon, the necessity formula, and when withholding becomes unkind.
