Nick Jonsson - Executive loneliness. Overcoming isolation in the business world

---

Resilience Unravelled

Some people have external executive coaches but many people find it hard to trust internal bosses or HR so who did they turn to? When asked do you seek professional help 75% said no they were coping by themselves. Nick feels that one of the few good things that came out of the pandemic was that psychologists and therapists could be seen online so people could start to reach out without being seen in a waiting room somewhere. Anonymity is there now so there has been some progress but people are still reluctant to talk about it and seem to deny it because the stigma is still there.

In this podcast:
