Hello Monday with Jessi Hempel LinkedIn

Welcome back to the Hello Monday Master Class! We've distilled the essence of hundreds of conversations into five essential rules that will empower you to thrive in an ever-changing professional landscape.
It's week two, and our lesson is simple, but not at all easy: We're talking about trusting ourselves. From the moment we’re born, the outside world will infuse doubt within us, no matter who we are or what we want to achieve. Many of us will spend a lot of time worrying way too much about what other people think—and we’ll be so busy doing that, that we won’t realize that everyone else is also doing it. Perhaps counterintuitively, once we learn that most people feel a similar way, we can just begin to let go of the angst altogether.
In this second episode of the Hello Monday Master Class, we reach back into the archives to learn from actress, producer, and podcaster Anna Faris (Mom, The House Bunny, Anna Faris is Unqualified) and bestselling author, speaker, and coach Luvvie Ajayi Jones (Professional Troublemaker: The Fear-Fighter Manual; Rising Troublemaker: A Fear-Fighter Manual for Teens; and I’m Judging You: The Do-Better Manual). We'll talk about the confidence-inducing power of sharing our best ideas over and over again, and how to navigate the pitfalls of likability. After you listen, collaborate on this week's exercise in the free Hello Monday Group on LinkedIn.

What makes a good leader? Having coached CEOs at various tech companies including Dropbox and Twitter, Kim Scott thought she had a foolproof strategy. It’s one she outlined in her 2017 book, “Radical Candor: Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity.” As the title suggests, honesty lies at the heart of Kim’s approach. But what happens when bias and prejudice don’t allow you to be direct? This is a question that followed Kim for years after the publication of her first book, leading her to write another, called “Radical Respect: How to Work Together Better.” Kim sits down with Jessi to discuss how we can build better relationships and stand up when we see injustice in the workplace.
