Discover the raw power of vulnerability as we engage in a riveting dialogue with Nick Jonsson, an executive coach, keynote speaker, and Ironman triathlon athlete. Find out why vulnerability isn't a weakness but a strength that fosters resilience and empowers individuals and organizations alike. We discuss the crucial role of vulnerability in building resilience, emotional health, and overall well-being.

We also talk about the often-overlooked issue of executive loneliness, a silent battle over 30% of senior executives face. Nick helps us understand how seclusion at the top can undermine the individual and their organization and why reaching out is not a sign of weakness. And he shares is own journey from addiction to purposeful living.

Nick Jonsson is an author, speaker, mental health advocate and co-founder and MD of EGN Singapore, one of Asia’s premier networking organizations. He built a caring community that provides hundreds of executives a safe haven to share their challenges, and receive support and learn from each other. Nick is passionate about raising awareness of mental health and combating loneliness in the modern business world. His book, "Executive Loneliness: The 5 Pathways to Overcoming Isolation, Stress, Anxiety, and Depression in the Modern Business World," provides practical strategies for overcoming isolation and building connections in the workplace.
