Feelings of isolation at work can be the difference between loving your job and dreading the thought of going in to work each day. I have personally suffered from this and would like to share three tips on how to address lonely feelings that could jeopardize productivity and your success.
👉🏾 Try something new! A big part of forming meaningful relationships with others is having common interests. So keep an ear out for any tv shows or good reads that have been generating lots of “water-cooler” buzz. Check it out and try to engage the next chit-chat!
👉🏾 Personalize your work space! It’s a great conversation starter. Spruce up your spot with some photos, knick-knacks and other items. Cute pics of my daughter, niece and nephew always stir up good convos for me!
👉🏾 Scout for new work buddies outside of your team. Opening up your circle to include people that aren't doing exactly the same work gives you lots of fresh conversation topics!
Believe me... I understand that it is not always easy opening yourself up to new social interactions, especially ones in the workplace. Remember though, in order to build the kind of meaningful connections you want, sometimes you just have to take a chance!
