Summary

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 three, and our attention is, at least in part, on others: This week, we are talking about making connections and negotiating the give and take of our relationships. Transactional social connections suck - so let's not make them! Instead, in this third episode of the Hello Monday Master Class, we reach back into the archives to study with organizational psychologist and bestselling author Adam Grant, and Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn.We'll talk about the difference between "successful" and "failed" givers and how to mitigate risk, why batching your acts of kindness and playing to your strengths can help you have a bigger impact, and how to lean into connective opportunities without wearing yourself down.
