How much should you reveal to your co-workers
In 1997, Miss USA won Miss Universe with one perfectly judged answer.
She revealed just enough to charm, but not enough to shock.
Harvard professor Leslie John says that's scientifically proven to persuade.
Her research shows revealers are more likeable, more hireable, and even more dateable.
In this episode, she shares why oversharing beats staying guarded, why privacy promises make us shy, and how putting fears into words can cure phobias.
