  • Do you hate the idea of networking and building professional relationships? If you want to find a job, get a promotion at work, or have that entrepreneurial spirit to start a business then you need other people. But networking can leave you feeling slimy. Dr. Daniel Hallak teaches you how to network with people in a way that doesn’t leave you feeling gross. Daniel shares personal stories, the psychological science behind authentic relationships, and the key questions that separate greedy transactional consumers from generous relational investors. Nothing gets Dr. Daniel Hallak more excited than the opportunity to build authentic relationships and develop leaders. As the Chief Commercial Officer at WiLD Leaders, he is known for bringing energy and research-based practices that make a difference. Daniel has spent 15 years developing leaders as an expert facilitator, executive coach, and strategic advisor. He has been a recruiter at Microsoft, a Career Management Consultant at Right Management Consultants and built leadership programs at Slalom, an award-winning consulting firm. He’s served as a professor, and advisor at three higher education institutions. He earned his Ph.D. and M.A. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    "You can get more than you give, by giving more than you get…” an invaluable lesson we get to learn over and over again! Thank you for this powerful message Daniel!

    When it seems like everything and everyone has a one-track consumer mindset, it's like a refreshing drink of water to hear messages like this one, that encourage us to put others first, expecting nothing in return.

    • @danielhallak6577

    So So good. This talk is such a brain flip. It gets you thinking in countercultural ways about one of the most important things in our lives - relationships. It’s time to do away with reciprocity as the underlying motive we teach ourselves and others.

    This is a helpful reframe, specifically focusing on what I CAN GIVE/SHARE versus what I CANNOT GIVE/SHARE B/C of perceived inadequacy. Appreciate this fresh take on being a "go-giver" versus "go-getter".

    I love this... I've experienced both from others and from myself. I am an immigrant from Australia and I grew up with catching up with people for the sake of catching up and knowing them... it is less cultural to meet with people for self gain... It is very American in culture and my experience is most people are thinking in a meeting, '1. What does this person want from me?' and '2. What can I get from them?'
