Let’s embrace the spirit of Connection January, not dwell on Blue Monday.
Today is Blue Monday, apparently ‘the most difficult day of the year’, the day in the northern hemisphere when it’s still dark, cold and people tend to feel low.
I know this time of year is a challenge for some people, and yet it’s not only about 1 day- we can all have our good days and bad days, on any day of the year. Feeling low can happen to any of us at any time, and that’s important to talk about.
So rather than focus on Blue Monday, I want today to start Connection January.
Let’s make it the day we talk about possibilities, reach out for conversations, connect with people we’ve been meaning to, and bring us closer together.
Connection is one of my core values, and I am so lucky and grateful that I get to connect with my clients all over the world and this includes recently in France, the US, Sweden, Germany and Spain.
Plus I am lucky to connect with many of you here, through my networks and communities, virtually and in real life.
Today we celebrate connection and explore why we need it in the workplace today more than ever.
I share my insights on how to move beyond transactional communication by being intentional with our conversations and how to create space for genuine dialogue, even in fast-paced environments.
Connection is part of our essential human skills, and is not an optional soft skill.
