Workshop Description:

Ever been told you’re too direct—or felt you couldn’t say what needs to be said? This workshop explores presenting difficult feedback or decisions with both firmness and kindness. Using the “velvet-covered brick” metaphor, you’ll practice techniques to ensure your message remains clear without smashing morale, building a culture of respectful openness.

Participants Will Learn To: 

  • Maintain honesty with a firm yet respectful approach
  • Deliver constructive feedback without damaging relationships
  • Balance strength and empathy in challenging conversations
  • Nurture a culture that pairs directness with genuine care
