Radical Candor

Fostering a culture of trust, open communication and compassionate honesty.

Learning Lab

A group of five people with diverse skin tones are standing in a line, each engaging in a different action or gesture. A woman with light brown skin and curly hair, wearing glasses, is gently holding the face of another person who appears to be listening intently. Behind them, a light-skinned woman with short hair is holding her hands over her ears, while another light-skinned woman covers her face with her hands. A third light-skinned man, barely visible between the front two women, has his hand over his mouth. The setting appears to be a theatrical or expressive workshop, where participants are exploring different emotions or communication styles through physical gestures. The atmosphere is one of focused engagement and interaction.

A light-skinned man is standing and speaking into a microphone while holding a tablet in his other hand. He is wearing a white shirt and a black puffer vest, addressing an audience that is seated and listening attentively. The setting appears to be a conference or seminar, with several people visible in the background, all focused on the speaker. The atmosphere suggests a formal or professional discussion.

An organizational issue that clients frequently identify after completing the Dismantling Racism Learning Lab is how to build a culture that practices honest communication, trust, and transparency within departments, between departments, and across the entire organization, so organizational goals and objectives can be achieved. The Radical Candor Learning Lab addresses this need.
