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.
