The news is often bleak, especially recently, and that could complicate our plans for a pragmatically optimistic year. Thankfully, we have psychology professor and researcher Jamil Zaki in the virtual studio this week to share some invigorating findings from his work running Stanford’s Social Neuroscience Lab. In this episode, he and Jessi talk about trust and how it’s changing. We learn more about the nature of the stories we tell ourselves. And Jamil will push us to embrace curiosity as we consider adjusting those stories.

Cultivating a culture of growth with Dr. Mary Murphy

We often hear about disparities in the workplace based on things like gender and race. But how do these disparities affect our confidence levels? Kelli Thompson is the author of “Closing the Confidence Gap: Boost Your Peace, Your Potential, and Your Paycheck.” Kelli sits down with Jessi to talk about the tough life moments that made her doubt herself, and how she grew from them. She opens up in hopes that more women will live up to their true potential at work, unafraid to ask for what they deserve.

Closing the confidence gap with Kelli Thompson

It’s been just under two years since we started incorporating AI into our lives and workplaces, but already the field has changed so much. While the landscape is still fresh, a few experts have emerged to guide us, including Wharton professor Ethan Mollick. Ethan’s new book "Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI" encourages us to treat AI less like a tool and more like a collaborator. He sits down with Jessi to discuss the most effective ways to interact with AI and how to utilize it without losing our human identity.

How to be Unforgettable: Be more awkward

How often do you consider your presence? How you show up in a room is difficult to measure, but it plays a crucial role in professional development and perception. Hello Monday is dedicating two episodes to helping you show up as your best self with our series “How to be Unforgettable.”
We’re kicking things off with Elaine Lin Hering, the author of "Unlearning Silence: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully." In this episode, Elaine sits down with Jessi to discuss how we’ve often been taught to be silent, and how we can undo this behavior.
