In this time of social distancing it’s not unusual to feel isolated and overcrowded at the same time. You might be working from home along with your partner and children, camped out in the bedroom, on a staircase landing, or in a closet. Your days are filled with back to back Zoom meetings, and your team abandoned the Zoom happy hours after the first two months because you’re desperate for some non-screen time.

But you still yearn for that sense of true connection.

This was the challenge faced by Jenna, one of my coaching clients. “I like my work and I’ve adjusting to working from home but there’s something missing,” she said. “My days are busier than ever before but I’d love to have more meaningful conversations with my co-workers.”

Can you relate to Jenna’s dilemma?
