How Kim works
The work is built on the Radical Candor framework: Care Personally and Challenge Directly at the same time. It names three failure modes: Ruinous Empathy, Obnoxious Aggression and Manipulative Insincerity. Teams learn to get, give and gauge feedback. A keynote runs 60 minutes and ends with live Q&A. A workshop runs 3 hours or more and adds hands-on practice. Participants leave with a plan for a hard conversation.
