In this episode we look at how to be less lonely at work and how to help your team feel less lonely.

We look at

• The evidence for loneliness at work and the impact.


• What a connected team could look like.


• I share 9 ways you can create more connection at work.

How we show up and connect with our team sets the tone for everyone. It does require us to put connexion and relationship building on our to do list.

We need to make moments of connection and meetings matter.

It is also really important not to assume that people connect and need connection in the same way as you. Ask your team what they need, try ideas out and be willing to change.
