  • Where You’re Losing Time and How to Get It Back

    Where You’re Losing Time and How to Get It Back
    Sep 14 2026
    Laura Vanderkam tracks her time in 30-minute increments and has been for over a decade. That’s 336 half-hour blocks over the course of a week. After reviewing thousands of people’s schedules, she finds, again and again, that most of us are sitting on more time than we think. We just have to shift our mindset to believe it. The time management expert and author of the new book Big Time: A Simple Path to Time Abundance returns to Hello Monday to talk about what it actually takes to move from time scarcity to abundance. In this episode, Jessi and Laura discuss: Why "I don't have enough time" is not just inaccurate, it's actively making things worse The math that surprises everyone: what a full-time worker actually has left after work and sleep each week Why we're bad narrators of our own experience and how to get better data The biggest blind spots in a week: weekday evenings and weekends How email and digital communication expand to fill all available space and what to do about it The one-hour a week experiment that could change how you feel about your job Why tiny tweaks beat lifestyle overhauls every time How to carve out "play and possibility time" The right way to think about learning something new at work, including AI How to recast ambition when climbing the ladder no longer feels like enough Laura's September time-tracking challenge and why she's been doing it every year since 2015 Follow Laura Vanderkam and Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn.

  • We’re Terrible at Fighting. Here’s How to Get Better.

    We’re Terrible at Fighting. Here’s How to Get Better.
    Sep 7 2026
    Most of us try to avoid conflict. But done right, fighting can be a path to stronger teams and healthier communities. On this episode of Hello Monday, Priya Parker makes the case for embracing “healthy heat” and learning how to navigate conflict with care. Priya Parker is a conflict resolution facilitator and author of The Art of Fighting: The Transformative Power of Conflict. Drawing on her work with teams, organizations, communities and groups, she shares practical ways to face conflict effectively. Jessi and Priya discuss: Why conflict is often a sign of relevance, and why we tend to fight with the people and groups we care about most The difference between healthy heat, unhealthy peace and destructive conflict How healthy conflict can create connection, clarity, better decisions and stronger teams Why our “fighting muscles” have atrophied, particularly after the pandemic How digital communication can flatten or exacerbate conflict rather than help us hold productive tension How to become an artful fighter by approaching conflict with curiosity instead of immediately trying to shut it down How to identify “hairline fractures” before they grow into larger rifts within teams and communities How to determine whether a conflict is worth facing The role of an outside facilitator in helping teams navigate conflict and develop practical conflict-resolution skills Why preparing your body for conflict matters, including breathing, grounding and learning to stay physically relaxed under pressure How listening can transform conflict and why staying in the heat long enough to hear each other can create breakthroughs A lesson from the Canlis restaurant team: how treating feedback as “an investment in you” can help people listen without becoming defensive What the Seattle Seahawks can teach us about culture and hairline fractures Why learning to gather and fight well is increasingly important as AI reshapes the workplace Follow Jessi Hempel and Priya Parker on LinkedIn Join us for Office Hours, Wednesday at 3pm EST

  • What Behavioral Science Says About Leading Under Pressure

    What Behavioral Science Says About Leading Under Pressure
    Aug 31 2026
    For a lot of people, work feels especially chaotic right now.. Projects start and don't finish. Layoffs happen, then reorgs, then new strategies, and through all of it, managers are expected to have the answers. Caroline Webb spent 25 years coaching leaders through exactly this kind of turbulence. She's a behavioral scientist, a former economist and the author of the new book Leadership Intelligence: Science-Backed Strategies for Mastering 21 Everyday Management Challenges. This week she joins Jessi to talk about what the science of the human brain tells us about leading through uncertainty. In this episode, Jessi and Caroline discuss: Why the current moment hits a stress trifecta — demanding, uncontrollable and unpleasant — and what that does to your team's brains The "know-be-do" framework: how to lead people through uncertainty when facts are in short supply Why naming how you feel is one of the most powerful things a leader can do and what affect labeling actually does in the brain What "measured authenticity" means, and why "terrified" is not a word you want your manager to use How to be honest with your team when you know more than you can say Why letting projects die quietly is one of the most demoralizing things a manager can do, and what to do instead What Astro (Google X's moonshot factory) does when it kills a project, and why it works The "when-then" method for taking the sting out of worst-case scenarios before they happen "Compassionate clarity": what it means in practice when layoff season arrives Why walking people out of the building immediately is almost never necessary and what a seasoned CHRO said about it Follow Caroline Webb and Jessi Hempel on LinkedIn Join us for Hello Monday Office Hours, Wednesday at 3pm EST Listen to Caroline’s previous Hello Monday episode on how to have a good day at a bad job

I’ve come back to this show again and again. The insight, inclusivity, and inspiration I get from Jessi and her guests is life-changing. I know that sounds over the top, but I just sent my boss an episode with a a full breakdown of how she’s doing some of the amazing things that were discussed. Me being able to recognize that helps me understand that I’m in a good place with my work relationships and this show has given me the language to identify that. Thank you Jessi and team.

Simply the best!
