How to Be Less Lonely at Work

Listen Later

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.

    Ways I can help your team feel more connected.

    1. Team thinking sessions and workshops - cultivating ways of being together that build connection and improve thinking.
    2. Leadership Inner Circles - for leaders in your organisation or join a group of likeminded peers.
    3. Facilitated group problem solving and decision making - if you have a tough topic you can bring me in to facilitate and create a space where everybody matters.
