Episode 12: Radical Candor: Navigating the Tough Talk You’re Avoiding

Hello, Visionista in Action!

Hello, Visionistas in Action! Welcome back to Inside Edge: the podcast where inner alignment fuels outer success. In this episode, Dr. Yanina Gomez shows you how to muster the courage for that honest conversation you’ve been postponing—turning tension into trust with two clear, compassionate tools.

 

Reflection Prompts:

  1. Who are you needing to talk to but have been avoiding?

  2. What story are you telling yourself about why you can’t speak up?

  3. What’s one cost you’ve felt by staying silent?

This Week’s Mindful Strategies:

  1. 60-Second Opening-Line Rehearsal

  2. Radical Candor Grid

This Week’s Action Steps.:

  1. Calendar It: Schedule the tough talk within the next 48 hours.

  2. Craft It: Write your 60-second opener.

  3. Use the “How to Map Your Perfect 60-Second Opener with the Radical Candor Compass” free PDF. Use it to measure where your opener stands. Remember, you want to keep your emotions from hijacking the conversation while lowering the other person’s defenses.
