Episode notes

Kim Scott: I would love to talk about a specific form of bullying. She says one person who is usually overrepresented and overconfident takes up all the airtime, even though they really don't know anything about the topic that the meeting is addressing. "I think it's much easier for people who are overrepresented to get away with that kind of BSing," she says. 'How to Be a Better Human' airs weeknights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CNN.

You know what they say about unsolicited advice (don’t give it!) but when it comes to SOLICITED feedback, author and executive coach Kim Scott says: bring it on. Kim believes that when it comes to improving your life at home, work, and anywhere in between, it helps to ask for – and provide – kind, but radical, candor. In this episode, Kim shares what she’s learned about embracing candidness and care in the workplace, gives tips on how to engage in constructive conversations, and opens up about the benefits of addressing bias in communication. Her latest book, "Just Work:
How to Root Out Bias, Prejudice, and Bullying to Build a Kick-ass Culture of Inclusivity" is out now. For the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscripts
