Notes on Resilience 98: Technology and Well-Being: Maintaining Human Connections in a Digital Age, with Scott Grates
Ever wonder how to maintain genuine human connections in our digital age?
Join us as we unpack this with Scott Grates, a versatile author, podcaster, entrepreneur, and coach, who brings a wealth of knowledge on nurturing trust and personal connections in business and life. Together, we explore the timeless value of H2H (human-to-human) interactions and discuss the powerful role of authentic personal relationships that businesses fundamentally thrive on.
We also talk about intentional relationship-building and how technology should complement, not replace, these personal interactions, even as digital communication becomes increasingly prevalent. Scott shares strategies for consistently showing up for the right people at the right times, underscoring the impact of small gestures like handwritten notes.
Balancing work and personal life in a tech-driven world is no small feat. We address the evolution of professional relationships, the psychological impacts of virtual versus in-person interactions, and strategies for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. From setting boundaries through "isolation blocks" for focused work to empowering resilient leadership amid digital distractions, Scott offers actionable insights for fostering well-being and empowering teams to thrive.
Tune in to gain a fresh perspective on preserving the human touch in an era defined by digital connectivity.
