  • A Framework for Giving Feedback | Lessons from Radical Candor by Kim Scott
    2026/07/09

    Do you avoid hard conversations, or handle them so bluntly they backfire?


    In this episode, Desiree read the book Radical Candor by Kim Scott, so you don't have to.

    This episode breaks down the framework from Kim Scott's Radical Candor, the one Desiree teaches more than almost anything else with the leaders she coaches.

    In this episode:

    • The four types of feedback, and which one is quietly wrecking your team's trust
    • Why "good intentions don't erase bad impact"
    • The order most leaders get backwards when resolving conflict at work
    • Rock stars vs superstars at work - is it a season, or a category?

    One question to try before your next hard conversation: am I about to avoid this, or am I about to be harsh about it?

  • Connecting and Communicating Across Generations at Work | Liz Carlson
    2026/07/02

    Right now you're leading up to five generations on the same team, and most of what's getting lost between them has nothing to do with personality.

    In this episode, Desiree sits down with workplace teacher Liz Carlson to unpack why communication breaks down across generations, what shaped the way each generation shows up at work, and how leaders can start closing the gap without walking on eggshells.

    Liz shares what she's learned spending years inside real teams, including why 93 percent of communication is nonverbal, how Gen Z is misunderstood rather than broken, and why Gen X, millennials, and boomers each bring their own hardwired communication style to the table.

    Key Topics Covered:

    • Why the basics of communication get skipped in favor of new programs and assessments
    • The breakdown of nonverbal communication and why tone and body language carry more weight than words
    • What's really going on with Gen Z's communication habits
    • How each generation was shaped, by parenting, technology, and the workplace they came into
    • Practical ways to lead people who process the world differently than you do
    • Why culture is defined by the worst behavior tolerated, not the best intentions

    About Liz Carlson:

    Liz Carlson is a workplace teacher who spends her time inside real teams, helping leaders close the communication gaps that get in the way of trust and culture. She spent 12 years teaching in higher education, including designing and delivering business communication courses, and now brings that same lens to workplaces navigating five generations under one roof.
