37. The Value of a Social Skills Coach and Connecting with Co-Workers

We’re living busy, socially distanced, professional lives, and  trying to balance between work and networking, all the while ignoring the value of the people we work with every day. Often, our connections fall by the wayside. But connecting with others is more important than you might think. Connecting with people of similar interests and backgrounds can lower anxiety and depression, help us regulate our emotions, and lead to higher self-esteem. The reality is that we’re living in a time of true disconnection. While technology seems to connect us more than ever, the screens around us disconnect us from ourselves, and from others. Our inherent need for human connection doesn’t mean that every introvert must become a social butterfly and that every self-conscious person must learn to love Zoom. Having a human connection can look different for each person. And if you’re not sure where to start in finding a meaningful connection, that’s what this episode will do.
