EP 246 – The People That You Meet Each Day

Today is a celebration of community, encouraging people to connect with those who live in their neighbourhood. It can even be a day to connect with those who work across the isle from you. It is all about connection and social connection is critical to our ability to be resilient.

Many of us are stressed out with too much to do and not enough time to do it in.  As life gets busier, our social network often gets smaller and smaller.  We barely have enough time for ourselves or our families, let alone staying connected with our colleagues, friends or neighbours.

Many of us seem to have drifted away from true friendships and a sense of “community” and are now living very private, even lonely, lives

70% say that having friends at work was the most crucial element to a happy working life.
