If you think being “too honest” will hurt your success… think again.
According to Harvard Business School professor and behavioral scientist Dr. Leslie John, opening up doesn’t just build relationships…
It can make you more money.
Dr. John has spent decades studying honesty, trust, privacy, regret, decision-making, and how revealing a little more than you think you should - even the not-so-pretty stuff - makes people trust you more. And trust drives results.
Research shows that 89% of people would choose to work with, trust, and hire someone who reveals something difficult, even something unflattering, over someone who stays quiet.
In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Dr. John teaches you the surprising science of honesty and vulnerability. She says most of us worry so much about oversharing, that we undershare instead - and it impacts our health, relationships, and career.
