Sue Bethanis hosts connection enthusiast and author, Ryan Jenkins. Ryan is the co-founder of LessLonely.com, the world’s first resource fully dedicated to reducing worker isolation and strengthening team connections. His new book with Steven Van Cohen is Connectable: How Leaders Can Move Teams From Isolated to All In.

Ryan and Steven are experts on loneliness who help organizations create engaged, inclusive, high-performing teams. In this episode, Sue and Ryan discuss how remote or hybrid teams can implement the four-step framework:

1. Look at loneliness – identify it in self and others.
2. Invest in connection – improve the strength of work relationships.
3. Narrow the focus – illuminate what’s most important at work.
4. Kindle the momentum – inflame what’s working to sustain progress.
