Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1893DM Leslie John reveals something fascinating about human connection: when you share your hopes and dreams with someone, it literally activates the pleasure centers of your brain. That's why opening up feels so good. But it's also why relationships get weird when the sharing only goes one direction. She tells a hilarious story about walking up to Jerry Seinfeld like they were old friends and immediately regretting it. It's the perfect example of how lopsided familiarity tricks our brains. Leslie breaks down the "dance of reciprocity" that builds real trust, where both people gradually reveal more and raise the stakes together. Lewis gets honest about spending years as an over-giver and people pleaser because he needed everyone to like him just to feel emotionally safe. Leslie reframes boundaries in a way that changes everything: every no is actually a yes to something that matters more.

We all know the feeling:That gut-wrenching post-conversation replay, cringing at how much we just revealed. Many of us live in fear of saying too much, so we keep our mouths shut, guard our emotions, and lock away our most personal thoughts. But what if we've been worrying about the wrong thing?A growing body of research shows we vastly underestimate the value of sharing more than we think we should, with our spouses, friends, colleagues, and even strangers. In her new book, Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing,  Behavioral Scientist and Harvard Business School Professor, Leslie JohnDraws on over a decade of research and real-life stories, as she explores: why we hesitate to open up, when sharing really does backfire, and how to strike a balance between too much and too little.In today's conversation we'll dive into this practice of wise disclosure,  And how when we pair vulnerability and openness with the practice of skillful discernment,We can unlock some of life's richest rewards. For more on Leslie, her book and other offerings please visit proflesliejohn.comEnjoying the show?

Oversharing has a bad reputation. But what if revealing more about yourself is actually the fastest way to build trust? To give us insight into the psychology behind oversharing — when it builds connection and when it backfires — we're joined by behavioral scientist and author of Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing, Leslie John.Leslie guides us through the surprising benefits of self-disclosure, exploring how revealing personal information can strengthen social bonds and increase trust. She also shares research on how disclosure impacts relationships, workplace dynamics, and even physiological stress, and explains how to find the “Goldilocks zone” where sharing is just right, without overburdening others.Listen and Learn: How sharing something a little uncomfortable can instantly build trust and make people like and choose you even more than someone who keeps everything privateWhy the instant regret after saying something vulnerable makes us play it safe, while the real price of not opening up shows up later in missed connection we never even realize we lostHow sharing just a little more than usual in conversations can create connection and prompt others to open up with youAsking deeper, slightly risky questions to turn awkward small talk into real connection and reveal surprising ways people bondRecognizing when sharing with a friend is helping or hurting your relationship and the surprising way your closest friendships reveal your emotional limitsHow sharing small vulnerabilities at work can actually boost trust and credibility without crossing professional boundariesHow encouraging young kids to show their feelings now could help them handle stress later and navigate tricky social pressures as they growSharing personal stories to light up your brain's pleasure centers, and why that might be more rewarding than you thinkResources: Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780593545386 Leslie's Website: https://www.lesliekjohn.comConnect with Leslie on Social Media:https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslie-john-75928721 https://www.instagram.com/proflesliejohn/ https://x.com/lesliekjohn?lang=en About Leslie JohnLeslie John is the James E.

Let's talk about the thing you replay over and over in your mind at 2 a.m. The comment in the meeting. The story you shared. The truth that felt a little too honest. Welcome to the oversharing hangover. We've been taught that credibility requires polish and power lives in restraint. Keep it tight. Keep it tidy. Keep the messy parts to yourself. But what if that's wrong? In this episode, Nicole sits down with Leslie John, Harvard Business School professor and author of Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing, to unpack what the research actually says about vulnerability, trust, and credibility — and why saying less might be costing you more than you think. In This Episode, We Explore: Why oversharing can build trust The difference between thoughtful revealing and emotional dumping How admitting mistakes can increase credibility at work The “Goldilocks rule” of vulnerability How to weigh the cost of revealing vs. staying silent The research is clear: we consistently trust people who reveal something real more than those who stay guarded.

We've been conditioned to believe that saying less is safer. But playing it safe costs trust, influence, stronger negotiations, and deeper relationships because the line between “too much” and meaningful connection is further out than we think. In the latest episode of Habits & Hustle, I'm joined by author Leslie John to break down the exact tipping point where leader vulnerability backfires, why holding your cards close in negotiation weakens your leverage, and how pushing slightly past your comfort zone builds real authority.

Kelly talks to Harvard professor Leslie John, whose research into self-disclosure provides a rich source of insights into how we can better build relationships, foster connection, and lead a more purposeful life when we are willing to be vulnerable and share details of our lives with others. “If in doubt, transparency is the safer bet.”  […]

Leslie John drops a finding that stops most people cold: couples married an average of 12 years guessed what their partner was thinking and feeling correctly only 20% of the time. That gap between how well you think you know someone and how well you actually know them is where relationships quietly break down. It's the same dynamic playing out in friendships, at work, and in families everywhere. You think you're saving people discomfort by holding back, but what you're actually doing is building a wall you can't see. Leslie walks through the science of "disclosure decisions," the hundreds of small choices you make each day about what to say and what to swallow, and what it costs you over time when the scales tip too far toward silence. Learning to share with the right people, at the right moments, with the right context isn't just good communication. It's how you build the kind of relationships that actually hold. The Greatness Playbook: The Communication Mastery Edition Leslie's book Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing In this episode you will: Discover why undersharing, not oversharing, is quietly destroying your closest relationships and what the research says about the real cost of silence. Understand how "mind reading expectations" create a hidden trap in romantic relationships and learn the simple shift that breaks the cycle before resentment builds. Learn the one question that can open any conversation with a guarded partner and why leading with your own vulnerability is more powerful than finding the perfect words. Recognize how the things you leave unsaid pile up into a weight that erodes your self-respect over time and what it takes to start speaking your truth again. Apply the science of the feedback sandwich, including what the research actually found about which part matters most, so you can deliver hard truths in a way people can actually hear.

Harvard Business School professor Leslie John joins AJ and Johnny to unpack why we systematically get vulnerability wrong. We obsess over the risks of sharing and ignore the cost of staying silent. From dating profiles and first impressions to leadership, feedback, and negotiation, Leslie explains how to decide what to reveal, when to reveal it, and how to frame it so it builds trust instead of regret. If you've ever worried about TMI — or held back and felt distance grow — this episode gives you a smarter way to think about disclosure.

In this episode of The Brainy Business podcast, Melina Palmer sits down with Leslie John, a behavioral scientist at Harvard Business School and author of the thought-provoking book, Revealing: The Underrated Power of Oversharing. Together, they challenge the conventional wisdom surrounding sharing personal information, arguing that the real risk lies not in oversharing, but in undersharing. Leslie's research reveals that revealing more about ourselves can strengthen connections, foster trust, and enhance decision-making in both personal and professional contexts. As they explore the nuances of sharing, Melina and Leslie discuss the importance of context, the dynamics of vulnerability versus transparency, and how these concepts play out in workplace interactions, especially during high-stakes scenarios like job interviews. Listeners will be encouraged to reflect on their own sharing habits and consider how a little more openness might improve their relationships and effectiveness at work. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to enhance their communication skills and build deeper connections with others.

Corporations donate billions of dollars to nonprofits each year to effect change and increase sales and positive brand sentiment.When companies donate, is a larger donation, and thus more money, better?

Leslie John, associate professor at Harvard Business School, has done some deep research into the ways that people self-promote in their professional lives and identified what works and what doesn't. She says it is possible tout your own accomplishments without annoying your colleagues, if you do it at the right time or enlist others to boast on your behalf. She notes that many common workarounds -- such as humblebragging -- are highly ineffective and advises people to not only look for more natural opportunities to self-promote but also try to present balanced views of themselves. She's full of tips you can put to work, even in virtual settings. John is the author of the HBR article "Savvy Self-Promotion."

When trying to make your co-workers better, and to realize their areas, where they can grow and improve, we need to provide a constructive feedback. These tough conversations are even harder to have as multiple crises and their side effects wear on. To top it all off, a change in venue from in-person to remote removes the nuance that can help soften the blow of bad news. Taking a few steps to be more strategic about how you deliver constructive feedback, can help prevent negativity bias and a digital venue from distorting how your employees receive your feedback. Here are the five steps: 1. Start by asking questions.Begin your constructive feedback conversation by asking the other person about their perspective. You might ask, “What did you think of that report?” or even simpler, “How did that go?” You want to learn about their experience and what they think of their work. 2. Offer appreciation before you offer criticism. In their ongoing research, Leslie John, Alison Wood Brooks, and Jaewon Yoon at Harvard Business School have found through manipulating the order in which participants receive feedback that individuals are more receptive to constructive criticism if they're first told what specifically they did well. 3. State your good intentions. John has also found that explicitly stating your good intentions goes a long way toward improving how the other person hears bad news. Try, “I'm in your corner,” or “I know you're trying to improve your writing and I want to help you get there,” 4. Clarify and contrast. Helene Lollis, the CEO of Pathbuilders, a firm that develops woman leaders, finds that contrasting statements can bring clarity. After you've raised your concern or suggestion, follow it with, “What I mean is X. What I don't mean is Y.” 5. Have the other person state their key takeaways. Save time at the end of the conversation to ask, “What are your top three takeaways?” It may feel redundant, but you'll learn if they're taking a negative nosedive, and if so, you can reframe the message. What is your recipe for giving feedback? How do you cope when you receive feedback? Huston, T. (2021, January). Giving Critical Feedback Is Even Harder Remotely. Harvard Business Review.

Toronto is experimenting with smart city concepts envisioned by Google spin-off Sidewalk Labs. Harvard Business School professors Leslie John and Mitch Weiss discuss the tradeoffs of using technology to improve modern city life at potential costs to digital privacy from their case, “Sidewalk Labs: Privacy in a City Built from the Internet Up.” Is it worth it?

Fishbowl's founders have built a social media platform allowing professionals to connect anonymously and with candor within their companies and industry.

Charlotte Blank, Chief Behavioral Officer at Maritz, says her job is 'selling science.' In this interview, held immediately before our meetup gathering in Minneapolis in February 2018, Charlotte describes research she conducted with Leslie John, Tami Kim, and Kate Barasz to create a recent HBR article titled "Ads That Don't Overstep." Their work yielded two very simple and important messages about communication: 1. Don't talk behind someone's back,  2. Don't make assumptions. In the world of big data, machine learning and algorithm-driven communication, marketers need to pay close attention to these. An early part of our discussion was on Charlotte's fascination with Franz DeWaal's work with monkeys, bonobos and the mysterious octopus! This led to a discussion about fairness as a key principle in program design and if you're not familiar with DeWaal's seminal work with capuchin monkeys, check it out here.  We discussed the now-famous Target advertising case where the company promoted pregnancy-related products to young women based on their buying habits and in one case, neither the woman nor her parents knew she was pregnant. There's a line to pay attention to and it has to do with the two guidelines noted above.  Charlotte also mentioned a couple of excellent books that she's recently read: Melissa Dahl, publisher of Science of Us, has a new book called "Cringeworthy, A Theory of Awkwardness" and Seth Stephens-Davidowitz's new book called "Everybody Lies" are top picks for those curious about human behavior.  The theme music in this episode, like all the other Behavioral Grooves music, is composed and played by Tim Houlihan. We are grateful to Jon James allowing us to use his work "Transfiguration" during intro and outro of the interview.  

It’s been a few months since many of us made New Year’s resolutions. Have you stuck with yours? Harvard Business School professor Leslie John studies how to help people change bad habits (and reinforce good ones) by looking at what makes them tick. Here, she discusses stickK, an application that motivates people by forcing them to put skin in the game of self-improvement.

Leslie John, Harvard Business School professor, explains why you shouldn't waste time trying to detect your counterpart's lies; instead, use tactics drawn from psychology to get them to divulge the truth. She's the author of the HBR article "How to Negotiate with a Liar."

In the United States, 60 million adults are obese and 9 million children and teens ages 6 to 19 are overweight. Being too heavy increases the risk of health conditions and diseases. In this university podcast, Harvard business professor Leslie John reports on studies providing financial and social incentives to get people to lose weight. Using lotteries and monetary deposits as collateral, researchers got people to lose an average of 14 pounds over several months. Leslie John spoke at The Science of Getting People to Do Good, a Prosocial Briefing held at Stanford. https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/promoting_health_through_weight_loss
