If there’s one thing that became obvious during the pandemic and the various different lockdowns, it’s the importance of human connection. 

But what happens to us when we get disconnected from our peers? 

How do we build actually lasting connections? 

And what are the best ways for team leaders to facilitate and create opportunities for human connection in an increasingly hybrid world? 

To answer all of these questions, we’re joined by Simone Heng, a human connection specialist and author of ‘Secret Pandemic: The Search for Connection in a Lonely World.’
