Kim Scott Speaker Biography
Toxic workplaces make people miserable. They also kill innovation, stifle growth, increase costs, and create instability. Creating productive organizations where respect and collaboration combine to produce just workplaces where everyone can do their best work can yield exceptional results. The principles outlined in Just Work and Radical Candor will help you recognize and eliminate workplace injustice while learning to communicate effectively up, down, and sideways.
Kim Scott is the author of Just Work: Get Sh*t Done Fast and Fair as well as Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity. Trier-Lynn Bryant and Kim co-founded the company Just Work, LLC to help organizations and individuals create more equitable workplaces.
Kim Scott is also the co-creator of an executive education company and workplace comedy series based on her best-selling book, Radical Candor. Jason Rosoff and Kim co-founded the company Radical Candor, LLC to help people cultivate caring and candid relationships at work by implementing a feedback-first culture.
Kim was a CEO coach at Dropbox, Qualtrics, Twitter, and other tech companies. She was a member of the faculty at Apple University and before that led AdSense, YouTube, and DoubleClick teams at Google. Earlier in her career, Kim managed a pediatric clinic in Kosovo and started a diamond-cutting factory in Moscow. She lives with her family in Silicon Valley.
Radical Candor: How to be a kickass boss without losing your humanity or crushing your team
Candor, Inc has developed a framework called Radical Candor that helps make giving impromptu feedback feel more natural. Giving feedback is deeply uncomfortable for most people, but a profoundly important part of learning to be a good leader. Criticizing others can feel brutal, and praising them can feel patronizing. Giving feedback is hard, but it’s just the beginning. It’s equally as important to get feedback (especially criticism) from others, and encourage it between them. Kim will explain the Radical Candor framework, and describe how you can use to improve your impromptu feedback, solicit it from others, and encourage it between the people you work most closely with.
Just Work: Get Sh*t Done, Fast & Fair
We―all of us―consistently exclude, underestimate, and underutilize huge numbers of people in the workforce even as we include, overestimate, and promote others, often beyond their level of competence. Not only is this immoral and unjust, it's bad for business. Just Work is the solution.
Just Work is title of Kim Scott's latest book, which reveals a practical framework for both respecting everyone’s individuality and collaborating effectively. This is the essential guide leaders and their employees need to create more just workplaces and establish new norms of collaboration and respect.
Gender Conversations
PART ONE
Our live workshop begins with storytelling around Kim Scott’s first-hand experience with this
dilemma. Then we lay out the framework of Radical Candor and give our improvisational actors/
facilitators the chance to bring that framework to life on stage for the workshop attendees. This
allows us to use the power of humor to point out all the ways we fail and succeed at communication.
PART TWO
Part Two of the workshop involves a series of interactive exercises that Second City Works has
customized in collaboration with Kim and her Radical Candor team. Attendees will have a chance
to try on the various roles of “The Disrespecter,” “The Disrespected” and “The Observer.”
OUR EXERCISES LIST INCLUDES:
• PRACTICING INTERRUPTION
• MODELING EXCLUSION AND INVISIBILIZING
• TRIGGERING WORDS
• MANSPLAINING AND HE-PEAT
• UNCONSCIOUS BIAS
PART THREE
Finally, the workshop allows larger groups to come together, share their own stories and apply the
lessons they’ve learned to find new ways to more effectively conduct gender conversations.
