LinkedIn Speaker Series

Speaker Series with Kelly Corrigan, Author of "Tell Me More"
Monday, October 9th at 11:00AM PT

Join LinkedIn’s Head of Social Impact, Meg Garlinghouse as she hosts a LinkedIn Live Speaker Series with New York Times bestselling author, Kelly Corrigan on her latest book, “Tell Me More” - a deeply personal, honest and often hilarious examination of the essential phrases that help foster connection in our lives. Together they’ll discuss the significance of phrases such as, “I don’t know”, “Tell me more” and “This is it” - and how we can use Kelly’s lessons to cultivate deeper connections and understanding with our colleagues, friends and loved ones today. This chat will lift your spirits with Kelly’s light-hearted sense of humor and meaningful insights.

Kelly has been called “the voice of her generation” by Oprah Magazine and “the poet laureate of the ordinary” by HuffPost. She is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Middle Place, Lift, Glitter and Glue, and most recently, Tell Me More. She’s a contributor to PBS, The Today Show, The New York Times and O Magazine, and she is developing a podcast and a weekly television show. She lives near Oakland, California, with her husband, Edward Lichty, and her daughters, Georgia and Claire.
