Tony’s daughter Mikahla sent a text to her dad: “Dad, I just read this article on radical candor and the concept reminds me of you.”
This text starts the two of them on a journey to find Kim Scott, the author of the best-selling book Radical Candor, and convince her to come on the show. Where it gets fun is when Tony asks his daughter, who has a master’s degree in Psychology, to co-host the show. In this episode of Chatter That Matters, the father and daughter co-hosts sit down with Kim Scott to learn about her backstory. This includes coaching at leading tech companies, how she came across the idea for Radical Candor — Caring Personally, but Challenging Directly — and how her approach can change the way you mentor, lead, provide feedback and be an even better friend. Have a notepad and pen handy, as you don’t want to miss any of the many lessons in life and leadership Kim Scott offers.
Chatter That Matters is hosted by the Marketing Hall of Legends and the Canadian Marketing and PR Hall of Fame Inductee Tony Chapman. Tony wants to counter the storm of negativity and a growing sense of impossibility by sharing true stories of possibility and positivity. Stories of people who make things happen, despite today’s challenging circumstances. In doing so, he hopes their life lessons inspire others to do more and to be more. RBC is the presenting sponsor.
