Kim Scott is an author, speaker, and the Co-founder of Radical Candor, an enterprise dedicated to creating productive organizations where respect and collaboration combine. Before co-founding Radical Candor, Kim served as a CEO coach at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter, and other tech companies, as well as a faculty member at Apple University.

Kim holds a Bachelor’s degree in Slavic Literature from Princeton University.
Kim joins us today to discuss the art of radical candor and giving, soliciting, and receiving feedback without losing your humanity. She reveals how she came up with the idea of Radical Candor and how she got out of the conundrum between being kind and giving people direct feedback. She explains why the phrase “Don’t take it personally” should be eliminated from your vocabulary. She describes the “Asshole Quadrant” and explains how radical candor differs from “obnoxious aggression.” Kim also elaborates on creating a healthy culture and environment of feedback and offers her best practices for giving and soliciting feedback with radical candor.
“Ensure that your praise is specific and sincere and that your criticisms are kind and clear.” - Kim Scott

Matt Abrahams is a professor, keynote speaker, and martial artist. He is a leading expert in communication and serves as a lecturer in organizational behavior at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, where he received the school’s Alumni Teaching Award. Matt teaches popular classes in strategic communication and effective virtual presenting. Additionally, he teaches public speaking and co-teaches improvisational speaking in the Stanford Continuing Studies Program. Matt is also a sought-after communications consultant and coach who has helped numerous presenters prepare for Nobel Prize presentations, TEDx talks, the World Economic Forum, and other high-stakes talks and speeches. He is the author of Freaking Out and hosts the award-winning podcast Think Fast, Talk Smart.
Matt joins me today to discuss managing public speaking anxiety and how to effectively navigate spontaneous public talks. He explains why anxiety from public speaking can’t be truly overcome and shares the two-pronged approach to managing the symptoms and sources of public speaking anxiety. He illustrates how we can reframe spontaneous public speaking situations not as threats, but as opportunities for exploration and collaboration. He outlines the “Pace, Space, & Grace” approach to high-impact, high-intensity conversations. He shares a story of serendipity and why he makes it a point to say “yes” to opportunities whenever possible. Matt also outlines the three “Rs” people must consider before asserting their viewpoint and underscores how persuasion involves more than convincing another person to do what you want them to do.
“Most communication we do as leaders is spontaneous. We work hard on the presentations and meetings we run but, in reality, a lot of what we do in our everyday lives is spontaneous.” - Matt Abrahams
This week on The Rising Leader Podcast:
● Glossophobia and its roots
● Learning to manage the fear of public speaking
● The “feel/real divide” and how we can shift our mindset about public speaking

Have you ever felt unheard or not respected? Perhaps you’ve been in a political conversation where you know with every fiber of your being that what the other person is saying is completely wrong, untrue, or they’re listening to the wrong sources – and it triggers you. Then you begin to get ‘wrapped around the axle’. Perhaps there was an experience you felt could have been avoided that triggered you to react in an emotional way rather than a calm, wise one.
It can be hard to stay calm, cool, and collected during a passionate or heated conversation, especially when you wholeheartedly believe that you’re right, and the other person is wrong. But, like Michael Singer said: “You don’t have to be strong, you need to be wise.” So in these moments, is it more important to be right – or to be happy and effective?
In this episode, I discuss how we often fall into the trap of spinning our wheels or get ‘wrapped around the axle’ over things people say or events that happen. I discuss how arguing with events or realities often causes us to get distracted and leak energy and power. I discuss how our emotional intelligence determines how much power we leak in the office, in the boardroom, or in life overall and how our ego often plays a problematic role in these settings. I also discuss the power of taking deep breaths when things don’t go the way you think they should and the beauty of saying ‘thank you’ when receiving unwanted or unexpected feedback.
“When things happen at work – the person who can get to sane faster, the person who can get to emotional maturity and emotional intelligence faster is the person who has the power in every conversation.” - Mark Silverman
This week on The Rising Leader Podcast:
● How arguing with reality and the things that happen cause us to leak energy, power, and get distracted
● How we often fall into the trap of spinning our wheels
● How having strong emotional intelligence prevents us from leaking power
● The power of calmly asking questions
● How our ego is often the root cause of most problems or arguments
● Asking yourself: Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy and effective
● Taking deep breaths when things don’t go the way we think they should
● Saying ‘thank you’ when receiving negative feedback
My Favorite Cliches on Being Right vs. Being Effective:
● Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?
● “When you argue with reality, you only lose 100% of the time.” - Byron Katie
● Acceptance is the key to my serenity.
● “How do we know something should have happened? Because it did.” - Byron Katie
● “You don’t have to be strong. You need to be wise.” - Michael Singer

I realized I did not do my solo episode, and today is the deadline for me to upload it for the production team. When I started thinking about what the topic was going to be for today, I went through the workshop that I'm actually about to lead, and I noticed we're doing a lot of nuts-and-bolts leadership training. This is ABC's delegation of how you keep track of projects and how you keep them on track. How do you do performance improvement plans? How do you give feedback? So, we will be having all those conversations about the nuts and bolts, about leadership.
I'm really excited about the parts of the workshop, the parts of my book, the parts of my videos, and everything I talk about. That's more about who you need to be a leader. For me, I steal the nuts and bolts and the mechanics of leadership from Pat Lencioni. I had Cameron Harold on my podcast, who is excellent at teaching leadership teams the nuts and bolts of keeping track of their business.
“Amazing leaders who have accomplished so much have a common denominator: they run towards fire.” - Mark J. Silverman
This week on The Rising Leader:
· Leadership shifts focus from personal achievements to team successes.
· An effective leader must be grounded and centered to handle responsibilities maturely.
· Stop playing the victim; take full responsibility, even if it's not your fault.
· Learn to deliver candid feedback without overdramatizing it.
· Understand your team's personality types to improve communication.
· Leadership is about uplifting and inspiring your team to achieve their goals.
· A good leader creates an environment where strategic vision thrives.
· Effective communication is meeting people where they are and considering their motivations and fears.

Ever wonder what it takes to transition from a highly successful real estate career to launching a thriving new venture? In this episode, I sit down with Brandon Green to explore the phases of experimentation, unexpected personal growth, and the courage required to redefine one's professional identity. We delve into how meaningful break periods, empathy in business, and strategic relationship management have played a pivotal role in his journey.
Brandon Green, originally from Iowa, moved to Washington DC in 1999 with no money or college degree.

You’ve probably come across the classic sales challenge: "Sell me this pen." Inspired by the movie Wolf of Wall Street, the challenge isn't about highlighting the pen's features but understanding the buyer's needs. This episode delves into this concept and its relevance to leadership, emphasizing how understanding and empathizing with your team can create better engagement and drive results.
In this episode, I explore how the principle behind "Sell me this pen" translates into effective leadership. I discuss the importance of enrollment, empathy, and understanding your team's values and motivations. By shifting the focus from selling to enrolling, leaders can better align their goals with their team's aspirations, fostering a more cohesive and motivated work environment.
“First instinct you should have when someone says, ‘sell me this pen’ is, ‘how long have you been in the market for a pen’?” - Mark Silverman
This week on The Rising Leader Podcast:
· The deeper meaning behind "Sell me this pen"
· Why understanding your team's motivations is crucial
· The concept of enrollment in leadership
· Building curiosity into your leadership approach

Today's episode dives into a topic near and dear to my heart: having difficult conversations. If you've been following me for a while, you know that every conversation we avoid is a missed opportunity for leadership and growth. Tim Ferriss famously says, "Everything you want is on the other side of a difficult conversation," and today, we're exploring that idea in depth. Joining me are Gene and Amanda Hammett, who are experts in leadership development and executive team alignment. Together, they’ve authored “How to Have Tough Conversations: The Framework for Great Leaders to Say What Needs to Be Said When the Pressure is On.”
Gene Hammett is a leading authority on executive team alignment and high-growth leadership, having generated over $40 million in revenue across his ventures. He's also the host of the Growth Think Tank podcast and has interviewed over 730 CEOs to uncover the core principles of fast growth. Amanda Hammett, co-founder and CEO of Core Elevation, is globally recognized in leadership development and next-generation talent retention. She advises top executives and founders on transforming organizations and has co-created the Leadership OnRamp program, which helps companies develop managers into leaders during periods of hyper-growth.
"There are a lot of books out there talking about how you need to have tough conversations, but the feedback we were getting for years was, 'We need that step-by-step.'"
~Amanda Hammett
Today on The Rising Leader:
· Types of Tough Conversations: Everything from performance issues to personal hygiene can necessitate a tough conversation.
· Epidemic of Avoiding Conflict: Many leaders avoid difficult conversations, leading to costly consequences, both personally and financially.
· The Four Phases: Understand and clarify, name the pattern, be direct, and, if necessary, exit.
· Personality Considerations: Different personality types need different approaches for having tough conversations effectively.
· The Magic Question: "What is the missing conversation that you haven't had yet?" This question helps shift from victimhood to solution-oriented thinking.
· Emotional Regulation: Knowing how to manage your emotions is crucial for effective leadership and communication.
· Presence is Essential: Being fully present during tough conversations shows respect and helps build a genuine relationship.
· Learnable Skills: These conversation techniques are not innate; they can be learned and practiced.

As the leader of an organization, communication is almost your entire job: how you show up, what you say in a situation, how much you communicate, and when you communicate are crucial factors to keep in mind as a leader. The better you understand the art of communication, the better leader you’re going to be. But for many of us, when we think about communicating at the workplace, we mostly think about business communication—work agreements, products, who’s responsible for what, and key performance indicators. Non-business communication at the workplace can be more challenging, and it’s the kind that makes or breaks the relationships needed to be successful.
In this episode, I discuss business and non-business conversations and relationship-building. I explain how non-business conversations create resentment when done poorly. I describe how the way we react to anything as adults is deeply rooted in our childhood. I also discuss why you need to trust your gut and share ideas on approaching someone when you feel like you have offended them—or have been offended by them.
“Non-business communications are harder because they’re the ones that make or break relationships, and everything that we do is relationships.” - Mark J. Silverman
This week on The Rising Leader Podcast:
● Business communications at the workplace
● Why non-business communications are more difficult than business conversations
● Communicating at work and investing in the trust jar
● Trusting your relationship Spidey sense
● Reflecting on how you react to various situations

You’ve probably heard about the Enneagram and wondered how it can be more than just a personality test. In this episode, Trevor Timbeck and Steve Chandler reveal that an Enneagram type reflects one’s systems and behaviors rather than their core identity, which can be a transformative insight for leaders. We explore how systems, not personal willpower, shape behaviors and effectiveness, discussing practical applications and examples emphasizing systems' power in leadership and personal development.
Trevor Timbeck is a transformative leader specializing in love-based inspiration. As a coach and author, he’s dedicated to helping leaders identify and implement effective systems. Steve Chandler is a prolific author and corporate leadership trainer whose clients include Honeywell and Wells Fargo. Both bring a wealth of experience and insights into how leaders can shift focus from personal shortcomings to actionable systems.
“Amazing leaders who have accomplished so much have a common denominator: they rely on systems, not just strengths.” - Steve Chandler
This week on The Rising Leader:
· How the Enneagram reveals personal systems and behaviors.
· The significance of asking, “What’s your current system?” and “Is it working?”

In this episode, I dive into the importance of communication as the top skill you need to learn as you rise through an organization. Almost every conversation I have with my clients revolves around some form of communication—being more clear, direct, vulnerable, or authentic in your communications, or having to repeat certain messages to get the results, relationships, change, and connections you want.
I recently spoke with Gene and Amanda Hammett about their book "Tough Conversations." Gene shared his magic question when coaching someone who's complaining about a situation and can't see their way through: "What conversation hasn't been had?" This question often leads to the realization that they need to give feedback, ask for something, or reiterate clarity through a conversation.
"If I have a resentment, if I feel a resentment in my body, or if my mind's ruminating on a resentment, what conversation haven't I had? It usually means I haven't set a boundary or haven't asked for what I want." ~ Mark Silverman
"The number one thing when you're going to be having difficult conversations is, you need to be grounded and present to be present when you're having conversations, because all of these tough conversations, all of these things are relationship building."
Today on The Rising Leader:
· Communication is crucial for getting the desired results, relationships, change, and connections.
· If you want something, ask for it. If you're confused, have a clarity conversation.
· Resentment often stems from not setting boundaries or asking for what you want.
· Communicate your vivid vision of what your organization will look like in three to five years to align your team.
· Being grounded and present is essential when having tough conversations, as they are relationship-building opportunities.
· Many resources are available to improve communication skills, including books, videos, and dialogues.
· Finding an author you like and watching their talks on YouTube can be a shortcut to learning new skills.
· Effective communication is the foundation of leadership and organizational success.
