How to Communicate With Your Family During the Holidays 5 | 30

Holiday communication with your family can be rife with stress. And while you love your family, let’s be frank, family togetherness during the holidays often goes sideways. So much so that it’s become a trope that’s spawned dozens of holiday movies. But you can survive it by practicing Radical Candor with your nearest and dearest this holiday season to avoid defaulting to Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity or Ruinous Empathy.

Radical Candor Podcast Episode: Holiday Communication With Your Family

Radical Candor podcast holiday communication with family

Many of you are likely spending time with your families this holiday season. And while you love your family, let’s be frank, family togetherness during the holidays can be rife with stress. So much so that it’s become a trope that’s spawned dozens of holiday movies.

And the spiritual leader Ram Dass once said, “If you think you’re enlightened, spend a week with your family.”

That’s why we’re dedicating this podcast to practicing the principles of Radical Candor with your family members this holiday season so you can avoid defaulting to Obnoxious Aggression, Manipulative Insincerity or Ruinous Empathy.

To practice Radical Candor effectively in such a setting, it might be helpful to start small, set clear intentions and boundaries, and be mindful of the timing and context of conversations. It’s also important to approach conversations with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to listen, not just to speak.
