We spend a lot of time at work, but that doesn’t mean we all embrace the opportunity to connect with those we work with. Some people adopt a different persona entirely or simply leave parts of your personality, social life and interests at home. Maybe you don’t even interact with people you’re not required to and simply clock out and head home as soon as you can. 

But work isn’t going away, so why not try to enjoy it? This episode discusses the power of making small connections in the workplace. You’ll be surprised how it can liven things up and transform a daily task into something that feels good.
