because nothing goes unsaid.

Don’t hold your team back by avoiding the handful of conversations nobody is having.

What access gets you

  • Six chapters that open one at a time, so nothing overwhelms you
  • Exercises to avoid the pitfalls we all fall into, the practice arena and your own script
  • Pause prompts you answer as you go, saved in your own browser
  • Open it again before every conversation. Yours for good.
A great session that had the entire team totally engaged from start to finish, with a clear action plan to follow up on, and ensured we continue to build the right environment. Tony Roberts, Managing Director, William Grant & Sons

The most expensive statement in business

“I couldn’t bring myself to say it.”

Nobody plans to avoid it. It just keeps happening — and the team pays for it in missed standards, repeated avoidable errors and people who miss out on reaching their potential.

Find out more about three things that get in the way…

The habit of silence

“If you don’t have anything nice to say… don’t say anything at all.”

Good advice at five. As a leader, a habit of swerving the conversations that matter.

“I’m sure I’ve already said this”

Weeks later it is back. Your hint felt clear to you. To them it sounded like nothing at all.

We run it in our heads first

The imagined version goes badly, so the real one never starts.

What’s inside

What you get from this pack, in real terms.

Written in plain language, with the tools you fill in as you go.

Stop putting it off

Understand why your brain talks you out of it, so the conversation actually happens this week instead of next quarter.

Know what to avoid

Learn the common mistakes — vagueness, the praise sandwich, saving it up — so you can tackle any conversation without wrecking the relationship.

Walk in with a plan

Five minutes with the planner and you have your opening line, your example and what you are asking for. No going round the houses.

Say it out loud first

Practise on three realistic situations before you do it for real, so the words come out the way you meant them.

Take it as well as give it

Know what happens to you when it is aimed at you, so your reaction does not stop people telling you the truth again.

Make it normal, not brave

Five small habits that turn one good conversation into how your team works every week, not once a year.

What you get access to

Not a video course. A page you work through.

Six chapters that open one at a time, so you are never looking at more than the thing in front of you. It remembers where you got to, and everything you type stays in your own browser.

  • Work through it, don’t watch it. Exercises to avoid the pitfalls we all fall into, a real conversation you choose your own way through, and your own script in your own words.
  • It keeps your place. Come back the night before the next one and your chapters, your ratings and your words are all still there.
  • On any device, whenever you need it. Laptop before the meeting, phone on the way in.

Try one of the tools

Your colleague is about to present with spinach in their teeth.

Four versions of you. Tap each one. This is where most leaders recognise themselves.

The model is Radical Candor, from Kim Scott, Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity (2017).

Before you buy

The questions leaders ask first.

One last thing

What’s true stays true whether you say it or not.

Saying it is the only way to give them the chance to do something about it.
