Letâs embrace the spirit of Connection January, not dwell on Blue Monday.
Today is Blue Monday, apparently âthe most difficult day of the yearâ, the day in the northern hemisphere when itâs still dark, cold and people tend to feel low.
I know this time of year is a challenge for some people, and yet itâs 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 thatâs important to talk about.
So rather than focus on Blue Monday, I want today to start Connection January.
Letâs make it the day we talk about possibilities, reach out for conversations, connect with people weâve 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.
What you will learn in this episode:
Why I want to create Connection January on this Blue Monday Collaboration tools are not the same as connection Invest in your relationships How to create space for conversations in busy schedules Set an intention to create connection Be more curious Listening more and ask more questions Reframe soft skills as essential human skillsResources:
