The Power of Community and Belonging

Talent Management Truths

“When I choose to do the opposite of what I feel like doing - curling up in a lonely ball for instance - and just reach out a little to my brilliant network of friends and colleagues and clients and acquaintances, I start to come back to myself.”

- Lisa Mitchell

As Covid and the headlines wear us down even further - it can be easy to retreat inside ourselves - to put a sort of isolation helmet on that muffles the world and people around us. This kind of retreating feels easy at the moment, and yet it’s damaging when sustained. SO much so that the UK government actually created a Minister for Loneliness post in 2018.

So what is the antidote? The antidote is the deliberate creation of community and belonging vs. waiting for it to come to you.

Tune in to this episode of Talent Management Truths for some inspiration and ideas on how, with a little intention, you can create the community and sense of belonging you deserve.

“It takes collaboration across a community to develop better skills for better lives.” - Jose Angel Gurria

🍏 The importance of being an initiator when feeling disconnected
