Don’t Call It “Sensitivity Training”

Tarina and Nic talk about Elle’s wedding—a truly beautiful life transforming event and how they had to pivot because of weather.

Nic is receiving a lot of requests for “sensitivity training.” As Nic jokes, “Kids today who never had to learn how to hold the flashlight for their dad.” Kids who never had the opportunity to take direction under pressure.

The question out there among a lot of seasoned leaders who are direct is, “Why is this generation so soft?” The problem is not that leaders are too hard. The problem is some of these leaders expect the moon and don’t teach.

Tarina comments, “Teaching is hard.” It’s the weak leader, Nic says, who tells a worker he/she is a piece of trash.

Nic wants to empower leaders to care enough about this next generation to teach them. The other place weak leaders skirt teaching is they lie to them, telling them they’re doing a good job when they are not doing a good job.

It’s about constructive criticism that changes behavior and leading through strength. It’s the courage to teach and train.

Ultimately it’s about practicing “clear is kind.”
