Episode Description from the Publisher

In our hectic world, feeling isolated can happen to many of us. Amy and Mark reflect on what we learned in the last episode from Karen Eddington about the “leave me alone era.” We discuss: • How isolation contributes to burnout. • The importance of creating community – not just co-workers – in the workplace. • Personal applications and examples of Karen’s research from “The Under Pressure Project.” Join the conversation by sharing your thoughts in the comments about where you’ve experienced the “leave me alone era” impact you personally or professionally. Then consider how you can help build communities to help counter the prevailing isolation many are experiencing today. Karen Eddington is a 20-year resilience researcher, keynote speaker, and author, who teaches you connection skills based on her research in The Under Pressure Project. Featured on ESPN for helping student athletes develop leadership skills, founder of a non-profit Outreach program in Utah, and neighborhood chalk artist, Karen teaches the importance of community at conferences across the country.
