Hi, Matt here. You've invested in your education to grow, advance, and unlock new career opportunities.

But here's the challenge. How do you position yourself to stand out in a competitive job market?

It's not just about what you know. It's about how much you communicate your value, build strategic relationships, and take decisive action.

That's where today's sponsor, Strawberry.me, career coaching, comes in.

They match students and professionals with certified career coaches who will help you refine

your personal brand to confidently articulate your skills and experiences,

to develop a results-driven strategy and stay accountable so you

follow through on networking, applications, and negotiations. Because knowing what to do is one thing.

Having a coach to push you forward, that's how you create real momentum in progress.

important questions to really smart people. And today, I have a

really important question and a really smart guest. So here it goes. Will I ever need to wear

pants again to work? Hello, I'm Matt Abrahams, and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Welcome to Think Fast, Talk Smart, the podcast. The pandemic accelerated the existing momentum behind remote work.

How will things change as we transition into a hybrid way of working, some at home and some in the office.

Today I am super excited to speak with Pamela Hines. Pam is the Fortinet Founders Chair and

Professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford, and she co-directs the Center on

Work, Technology, and Organization. Pam's research looks at the effect of technology

on teams, teamwork, and innovation by exploring issues of culture, language, identity, and

conflict in promoting knowledge sharing and collaboration. Welcome, Pam. Thanks for being here.

Oh, thank you. It's great to be here.
