Ever worry that being honest means you have to be harsh?
In this clip, Dolly Parton gives an honest answer when asked for advice. She knew what she wanted to say and delivered it with clarity, vulnerability, sweetness, and a little playfulness.
That's honesty done right. She didn't soften the truth, she just let herself be a little embarrassed about it too. She took the risk, then stood in it with the room instead of from a distance.
This is how the Pathways of Kindness work together.
In The Kind Lab, we cover these five pathways: honesty, sweetness, clarity, playfulness, vulnerability. We'd love to see you at the next one.

Fall's the season that shows up and starts letting go. Leaves, light, warmth. None of it fights the process. It just slows down, goes inward, and doesn't apologize for it.
I love that about this time of year. The seasons shifting, quieting, dying off. It's nature saying the thing we don't like to say. This life is temporary. Mine included. Autumn's entrance is just the yearly reminder to be open to that. Maybe even embrace it.
Happy first day of fall.
Mark your calendars, coaches. The Coaches' BBQ is coming back October 23rd.
It's free, full day online (all time zones welcome), come-and-go as you please, drop into sessions, or just find a breakout room and make some new friends. 👻
Grab your virtual trick or treat bag, we're conjuring up some good conversations this year. 🎃
Registration is open now. Link in comments to grab your spot!

Hey friends 👋 hear it from a coach who's stepped into The Kind Lab.
Kindness changes how coaches show up for their clients. This month, we're starting a new season with Honesty, the pathway that asks you to say the hard thing as a practice of kindness.
Have you signed up for the next Lab yet? We'd love to have you join us.
🗓 Wednesday, September 9
⏰ 4-6pm PT / 7-9pm ET

Coaching isn't one move. Sometimes it's direct. Sometimes it's spacious. Sometimes it's playful, or sweet, or asks you to be vulnerable first.
The Kind Lab is built around five pathways: honesty, clarity, vulnerability, sweetness, and playfulness, and learning when each one serves your client.
🧪 Five virtual workshops for coaches
🗓️ Starting this month (first session: September 9)

We'd love to practice together. 💟
Hey coaches 👋 what's the nicest lie you've ever told a coachee?
Honesty sounds simple until you're the one holding a hard truth and a relationship you don't want to damage. That tension is exactly why it's the first pathway we're starting with at Kind Lab for Coaches this September.
Come build the courage and the timing for it, together with other coaches.

The Kind Lab for Coaches is back this September.
Nina Simonds and I are getting into what kindness actually means for coaching, and why people mix it up with niceness so often.
Join us to build coaching skills that support your coachees the way they actually need.
See you next month. Details here: https://jeffjacobsoncoaching.notion.site/thekindlab
