70 Ways to Connect at Work

Hi friends! Special announcement today. I made another beautiful (and free!) guide called 70 Ways to Connect at Work, full of 30+ pages of practical tips, exercises, and resources to build human connection, trust, belonging, and engagement at work.

As hybrid work and AI have become the norm; and time spent face-to-face has been replaced with wall-to-wall Zoom meetings, AI agents, and 24/7 emails; workplace connection has withered. Employees are experiencing the lowest levels of belonging and engagement ever recorded in a culture of distrust, polarization, and overwhelm.

As AI becomes more and more influential in how we work and how we live, the importance of human connection only increases exponentially.

But how does anyone even have time to connect in the era of overwhelm? How can we stay curious, show empathy, build trust, and cultivate deeper relationships—even when we disagree or share different viewpoints?

That’s where this guide comes in. It’s full of 70 practical tools and exercises to build human connection the age of AI and overwhelm.

Leaders who double down on relationships, and make the extra effort to build connection, trust, empathy, and belonging, will continue to see their careers and businesses thrive long into the future.

Human connection is the key to unstoppable growth in unprecedented times.

Thank you to my amazing designer Kendra Cagle (who also designed my Workplace Belonging Toolkit), and to the many friends and connection experts whose work I reference in the guide.

Please let me know what you think and if you try out one of the exercises with your team!
