Hello Monday with Jessi Hempel

It’s the second week of our series, Navigating the New Office. This week, we look at a core skill we need if we want to do just about anything: How do we change? To get to the bottom of this, Jessi talks to Katy Milkman, a behavioral scientist at Wharton and the author of HOW TO CHANGE: The science of getting from where you are to where you want to be, and Sarah and Jessi chat about what they’ll each be trying to change using some of Katy’s advice. Follow Katy Milkman on LinkedInFollow Jessi Hempel on LinkedInFollow Sarah Storm on LinkedInJoin the Hello Monday community: Subscribe to the Hello Monday newsletter, and join us on the LinkedIn News page each week for Hello Monday Office Hours, Wednesdays at 3p ET on the LinkedIn News page.

It’s time for Hello Monday’s summer series! This summer, we’re looking at Navigating the New Office. The pandemic drags on, and there’s more unrest now than ever, and yet, we’re all meant to show up and kill it at work. If you’re wondering how, we’ve got you. Over the next six weeks, we’ll be looking at six big questions on what it means to make the most of our new workplace realities. To start things off, Jessi sits down with Carole Robin, the co-author of CONNECT: BUILDING EXCEPTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND COLLEAGUES, and a professor of the affectionately known “touchy feely” class at Stanford Business School. Carole walks Jessi through some tips for how to connect with coworkers in the office and through a screen. Then Jessi breaks it down with producer Sarah Storm. Follow Carole Robin on LinkedInFollow Jessi Hempel on LinkedInFollow Sarah Storm on LinkedInJoin the Hello Monday community: Subscribe to the Hello Monday newsletter, and join us on the LinkedIn News page each week for Hello Monday Office Hours, Wednesdays at 3p ET. To help us grow, rate/review us on your favorite app - and be sure to follow or subscribe.
