For the first time ever, Kim Scott, the author of Radical Candor® and a bestselling author in both the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, will be the keynote speaker at HEC’s Annual Member Meeting in Hawaii! Join us to hear directly from the leadership expert who has transformed the conversation around feedback and workplace culture. Don’t wait — space is filling fast!

Why this matters in Hawaii

Hawaii values harmony. We are careful with our tone, avoid embarrassing others, and maintain relationships. While this approach reflects good instincts, when we become "too nice," we often overlook what people need most: clear direction. Silence can lead to second-guessing, which slows down work and allows friction to build beneath the surface.

Radical Candor® is a simple principle: care personally and challenge directly. Candor with aloha means we tell the truth in a way that protects dignity and helps the work. Read how our CEO learned to “care personally and challenge directly” early in her career.

Want to see Radical Candor® in action? Join other employers at HEC’s Annual Membership Meeting on November 18 at the Alohilani Resort Waikiki, featuring keynote speaker Kim Scott. You’ll leave with practical language you can apply immediately and a clearer understanding of how to foster a culture that is both kind and candid.
