Work Skills Are Life Skills (and Vice Versa) | Simon Sinek + Esther Perel

Simon Sinek

A relationship is a relationship, at home or at work. Esther Perel came up through couples therapy. I came up through the corporate world. She helps couples resolve conflict, and they show up better at work. I teach people at work to ask for help, knowing it’ll make them better friends and partners. It really doesn’t matter where you learn these skills—it just matters that you learn them. Every relationship in your life will be better for it. šŸŽ§ While A Bit of Optimism is on hiatus, listen to my full conversation with Esther wherever you get your podcasts.
