Natalia Mank | It’s lonely at the top – strategies to combat loneliness

Natalia Mank helps empower business leaders to experience life with renewed clarity and joy, and today discusses the isolation and loneliness that many top leaders experience. 61% of CEOs feel that loneliness hinders their performance at work, emphasising not only the importance of developing strategies to guide people out of loneliness but also that you are not alone in feeling lonely.

Natalia mentions a few factors that could lead to feelings of loneliness within top leaders, such as a shift in boundaries and relationships with peers you worked with before a promotion. Furthermore, they want to prove your capabilities in this position to these peers, but also to those you have to report to, such as the executive team, which could result in feeling isolated. A key strategy in overcoming loneliness is practising self-awareness by embracing structured and non-negotiable solitude. Other strategies that Natalia mentions include finding ways to connect with your team on a meaningful level, as well as investing time in speaking to a mentor or coach.
