## Resource

When the wrong words could cost you trust, credibility, or even your job… how do you speak up anyway? In this episode, we explore High Stakes Candor, what it means to prioritize the other person’s success over your temporary discomfort, and why that mindset is essential when the stakes are high. Plus, Denise shares about the time she had to decide whether to live up to her reputation for candor or to be “nice” to her boss. By the end of this episode, you’ll learn how to recognize “coasting” in high-value relationships, avoid the silent avoidance trap most leaders fall into, and calibrate how much candor is the right amount.
