Connection is at the ❤️ of everything we do.
We know that trust, play, and vulnerability are key to building thriving teams and leaders. Trust fosters open communication, play sparks creativity and innovation, and vulnerability strengthens bonds, making people feel seen and valued. Combined, these elements create an environment where everyone can grow and collaborate.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Candor Experiences: our handpicked selection of experiences focused on igniting the power of human connection. Rooted in shared experiences, Candor helps individuals and teams break down barriers, uncover blind spots, and gain new perspectives.
“I had the pleasure of working with Becky Galvez on the board of EO (Entrepreneur’s Organization), and she is an incredible leader. Becky has a unique talent for fostering trust within leadership teams, which was instrumental in making our executive board exceptionally productive. Her ability to build a strong foundation of trust is her superpower. I highly recommend working with Becky to any organization looking to strengthen their leadership teams and cultivate a culture of trust.”
Leadership
Trust Building
Every team is made up of people with unique skills and talents. However, the key to success is in transforming these strengths and harmonizing diverse approaches. The foundation of an exceptional team is trust—just as a house needs a solid base, a team requires trust to thrive and tackle challenges. Without it, both the house and the team risk collapse.
We understand how building trust fosters accountability, collaboration, and long-term growth. Drawing on insights from leaders like Brené Brown and Adam Grant, our team activities are designed to create psychological safety, gather diverse perspectives, and inspire actionable insights.
“Trust is the glue of life. It's the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It's the foundational principle that holds all relationships."
— Stephen R. Covey

Ready to get deep?
Are you someone who embraces curiousity, leads with an open heart, and sees play as an avenue to creativity?
We offer immersive, multi-day retreats for leaders, entrepreneuers, and teams for when you’re ready to take your connection to the next level. Human connection is essential for well-being, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose in both our personal and professional lives. We’re not alone in this belief; research shows that strong social bonds improve happiness and health, while weak connections increase the risk of premature death.
Our retreat fosters these connections through activities like play and shared vulnerability, which enhances empathy, innovation, collaboration. Transparent and open conversations help us embrace uncertainty and build authentic connection. Play helps us let down our guards, be present, and connect on a deeper level. Ultimately, deeper connections lead to personal growth, fulfillment, and stronger communities.

Your guide
Becky Feinberg-Galvez is a dynamic leader with a passion for building authentic connections and driving impactful results. A proud soccer mom to two boys and avid traveler, Becky spent five years in Santiago, Chile, before returning to Chicago. Her dedication to education and human connection started with her seven years of teaching middle school Spanish. Afterwards, she transitioned to the business world, scaling Candor Threads into a multimillion-dollar company as CEO through balancing heart with data-driven strategy.
Becky’s leadership extends beyond her company. She has held multiple roles within the Entrepreneurs Organization (EO), a global network of business owners. After five years on the board, she spent last year as EO Chicago’s president, further honing her expertise in guiding high-achieving entrepreneurs.
Her belief in the power of genuine human connection drives her work, whether she’s engaging with her local barista, connecting with fellow entrepreneurs, or facilitating trust with leadership teams. Becky’s mission is clear: to inspire and elevate leaders through trust-building and meaningful relationships.
