The Price of Nice with Amira Barger (Idealist/Volunteer Match) Online
Many of us follow the quote: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." But that advice isn't always helpful. In the workplace, people often choose niceness over honesty in order to avoid hurt feelings or conflict. The truth is, there are hidden costs of "niceness" that allow inequities to endure, projects to fail, and organizations to stagnate. Growth comes from courageous conversations and genuine, authentic action. Join us for an exclusive session with Amira Barger, CVA as we discuss her book The Price of Nice: Why Comfort Keeps Us Stuck and 4 Actions for Real Change. This practical guide shows how to move past superficial workplace "niceness" to create real change through a proven fourstep approach. Readers will learn how to transform toxic positivity into authentic feedback, drive measurable performance improvements, and build psychologically safe teams that deliver results.
