Candid Communication

Direct, respectful communication keeps projects on track. Learn to surface risks early, clarify scope, and build trust.

Candid communication is one of the most powerful tools for technical professionals. This topic teaches you to speak openly while maintaining respect, surfacing risks early and aligning expectations clearly. You’ll practice how to deliver tough feedback without damaging relationships, how to encourage transparency from clients and colleagues, and how to model honesty that builds credibility. Done well, candid communication strengthens teams, prevents misunderstandings, and drives projects toward smoother delivery.

my library units

If you'd like to contribute new units to the library, go to your dashboard under the "contribute to the library" tab. Complete the form for your unit, which could be an article, video, interview, prompt set, template or exercise. Choose up to two topics for each unit. Your contributions will show here under "my library units".

my group's library units

If you'd like to see your group contributing units to the library, encourage them to explore Twennie's topics and find ones they feel confident talking about. They can share within your group only, your organization only, or with the whole Twennie community.

my organization's library units

Organizations with a culture of learning are stronger and more successful. If you'd like to see your organization contributing units to the library, start by contributing yourself. Write articles and record videos on topics that interest you. If you have templates and exercises that have been useful to you in the past, share those, too. Your organization will follow your lead.
