4 tips to kickstart honest conversations at work
Summary

Actually, it’s difficult to have honest conversations at work because we feel fear and we think that everyone doesn’t agree with an idea. 

However, by training you and workplaces which don’t value openness and honesty, we’ll become more productive, less fearful,  and happier at work. The speaker suggests four tips. 

Having confidence.  
Intent means to be about having a purpose and a reason to speak up
Delivery means to be about how you frame the actual message. 
Seeking a solution always. 

The speaker experienced that when a small child who was only ten years old spoke up with big confidence honestly, the situation turned dynamically. This must be the workplace where we want to work.
